What could be better, eh? The duo is enough for my heart.

Lyrics:
Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord
It hurst me so bad for us to part
But someday baby
I ain’t gonna worry my life any more
You’re on my mind every place I go
How much I love you, nobody know
Yeah, someday babe
I ain’t gonna worry my life any more
So many days since you went away
I’ve had to worry both night and day
Yeah, but someday babe
I ain’t gonna worry my life any more
So many nights since you’ve been gone
I’ve been worried, grieving my life alone
Yeah, but someday babe
I ain’t gonna worry my life any more

So that’s my story and this is all I’ve got to say to you:
Bye, bye, baby, I don’t care what you do
‘Cause someday darling
I won’t have to worry my life any more
Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord
It hurst me so bad for us to part
Oh, but someday baby
I ain’t gonna worry my life any more
