"Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind" lyrics
(originally by Dolly Parton)
Our love affair is bittersweet, insecure, and incomplete
And I've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed
It's all become so complicated, maybe you feel obligated
And out of sympathy for me, you stay
But I had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
And I'd rather have you go than stay
And put me down, thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind
You've waited much too long to leave, afraid of how I'd take it
And I'm deeply touched by your concern, but I think I can make it
It won't be easy for a while, but I'll forget in time
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind
I had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
I'd rather have you go than stay
Then put me down, thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind
Our love affair is bittersweet, insecure, and incomplete
And I've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed
And I've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed
It's all become so complicated, maybe you feel obligated
And out of sympathy for me, you stay
But I had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
And I'd rather have you go than stay
And put me down, thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind
You've waited much too long to leave, afraid of how I'd take it
And I'm deeply touched by your concern, but I think I can make it
It won't be easy for a while, but I'll forget in time
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind
I had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
I'd rather have you go than stay
Then put me down, thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind
Our love affair is bittersweet, insecure, and incomplete
And I've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed
