Lyrics:
Nothing In This World Can Stop Me Worryin' About That Girl [Version (a)]:
[From May 1 2004 version]
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
??? is not enough, promises said to me
There's nothing in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Nothin' in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Still I wonder ??, this she said to me
There's nothing in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Nothin' in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Alright, we're gonna have a tambourine breakdown!
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Still I wonder, want to know, is she true to me?
There's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
There's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
There's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
[From May 1 2004 version]
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
??? is not enough, promises said to me
There's nothing in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Nothin' in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Still I wonder ??, this she said to me
There's nothing in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Nothin' in this world to keep me worryin' about that girl
Alright, we're gonna have a tambourine breakdown!
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Still I wonder, want to know, is she true to me?
There's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
There's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
There's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
The Song:
This Kinks' classic is available on their second album, Kinda Kinks from 1965. It is poppy, bluesy tune based around a catchy acoustic guitar lick.

Notes:
- [From The Kinks' original]
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
But I think all the time, "Is she true to me?"
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
I found out I was wrong, she was just two timin'
I found out I was wrong, she just kept on lyin'
Now she tries to tell the truth and I just can't believe
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
Tell me who can I turn to? Just who can I believe?
I try to put her out of my mind, she'll only cause me grief
I love that girl, whatever she's done, you know it hurts me deeply
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
I know she's been with other fellas, why does she keep on lying?
It hurts me so when she says nothing... I really feel like dying
I ache inside until I think, I know it's just my pride
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' about that girl
