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
