Someday Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't care what you do, I don't care what you say
I don't care where you go or how long you stay
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

[Verse 2]
Well you take my money and you turn me out
You fill me up with nothing but self doubt
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

[Verse 3]
When I was young, driving was my crave
You drive me so hard, almost to the grave
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

[Verse 4]
I'm so hard pressed, my mind tied up in knots
I keep recycling the same old thoughts
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me anymore

[Verse 5]
So many good things in life that I overlooked
I don't know what to do now, baby you got me so hooked
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

[Verse 6]
Well, I don't want to brag, I'm gonna ring your neck
When all else fails I'll make it a matter of self-respect
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more
[Verse 7]
You can take your clothes put em in a sack
You goin' down the road, baby and you can't come back
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

[Verse 8]
I tried to be friendly, I tried to be kind
I'm gonna drive you from your home, just like I was driven from mine
Someday baby you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

[Verse 9]
Living this way ain't a natural thing to do
Why was I born to love you?
Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

For “Someday Baby”, Dylan utilized Muddy Water’s song “Trouble No More” as a template. That song’s last line is strikingly similar to Dylan’s chorus line:

Someday baby, you ain’t going to trouble poor me, anymore
