Don’t Look Back Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never had the good things only money could buy
I'd drive my car, but I haven't got a car to drive
Never had a holiday in the tropical sun
Good times look like they're never gonna come

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know these times are bad
And they make you wanna cry
Don't be sad
We'll get by

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby, baby, don't look back
I'm gonna leave and I think that you should

[Verse 2]
When I spent my life in a place like this
On the first bus out, I'm gonna get myself a lift
If you wanna stay, well, that's alright
If you wanna go, it's got to be tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know these times are bad
And they make you wanna cry
Don't be sad
We'll get by
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby, baby, don't look back
I'm gonna leave and I think that you should

[Refrain]
Never had the good things only money could buy
I'd drive my car, but I haven't got a car to drive

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know these times are bad
And they make you wanna cry
Don't be sad
We'll get by

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby, baby, don't look back
I'm gonna leave and I think that you should

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, don't look back
It won't do no good
Baby, baby, don't look back
I'm gonna leave and I think that you should
[Outro]
Baby, baby, don't look back
Baby, baby, don't look back
Baby, baby, don't look back
I'm gonna leave and I think that you should

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 [?]
