Well she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and Make her grandfather proud the way her Father did in 1960 Like I said she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and So she took all my love and money And left me here in my misery So don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright Don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright You don't know a damn thing about my life So why don't you sit down and listen Well she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and Drown the weight of the world Beneath the blanket of the Atlantic sea Like I said she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and So she never came back to me And that's all there is to that story So don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright Don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright You don't know a damn thing about my life You don't know a damn thing about my life Dreaming and dreaming and dreaming and dreaming Until we wake up, until we wake up Wake up So don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright Don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright You don't know a damn thing about my life Oh no, you don't know a damn thing about my life
