don't think twice, it's all right
it's a moody sunday morning and i could be a mirror of it with the past things that have been going on. working on my show and it's fun sometimes when i'm working on my show and i come across a song i haven't listened to in awhile (not jazz) and it breaks up the monotony and i appreciate it. today it's an appropriate gem by the name of "don't think twice, it's all right" by bob dylan. this is the quintessential breakup song isn't it? i'm annoyed that the lyrics (also mirror) how i am currently feeling and that this hasn't been the first time and i guess it won't be the last if we're being real here. i can't imagine it not being the last with this track record. sigh. break ups are so stupid at first but then really smart later and also how do you break up when you're not even in a relationship? and also if some people (1 person) thought that was a relationship enough to put an ex partner label on it, some people (1 person) is severely delusional in the definition of partner but i digress.
without further adieu, here are the perfect, most timely, most likely to allude to "fuck you" in the chorus - breakup lyrics of all time (and as always - thank you for everything, bobby d):
… It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-traveling on
But don't think twice, it's all right
… And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
… So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
… So long honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"
I ain't a-saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
