“ IT DON’T MATTER TO ME “

IT DON’T MATTER TO ME THAT YOU BROKE MY HEART OH & MADE ME BLUE

NO IT DON’T MATTER TO ME THAT YOU  WOULD LIE AND CHEAT WHEN I TRUSTED YOU

CAUSE BABY SOON ENOUGH NOW I KNOW YOU SHOULD GET HURT BAD BUT THAT MAY DO YA SOME GOOD

YOUR TIME WILL COME WAIT & SEE, OH BUT IT DON’T MATTER TO ME

IT DON’T MATTER TO ME THAT YOU LEFT ME HANGIN’ WHEN I NEEDED YOU SO

NO IT DON’T MATTER TO ME THAT AFTER YOU USED ME THEN YOU JUST LET ME GO

CAUSE BABY NOW I KNOW YOU’D BEEN SLEEPIN’ AROUND LONG BEFORE THE TRUTH HAD EVER COME DOWN

I GUESS THAT’S YOUR CUP O’ TEA, OH BUT IT DON’T MATTER TO ME

BUT BABY I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I’M ALRIGHT, IT DOESN’T BOTHER ME WHERE YOU’RE SLEEPIN’ TONIGHT

SEE I COULD REALLY CARE LESS GIRL I’VE SEEN THE LIGHT AND I’LL KEEP WALKIN’ TALL

SO EVEN IF YOU CRAWLED BACK ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES, IT WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING CAUSE GIRL CAN’T CHA SEE, THAT LIGHTENING STRUCK ME ONCE BUT YA’D BETTER BELIEVE IT DIDN’T MAKE ME FALL, NO BABY IT DON’T MATTER AT ALL

IT DON’T MATTER TO ME THAT YOU WANNA HURT ME ANYWAY THAT YOU CAN

NO IT DON’T MATTER TO ME THAT YOU’D RATHER HAVE SOMEONE THAT’S HALF A MAN

CAUSE GIRL YOU’VE MADE YOUR BED HARD NOW GO ON TO SLEEP

YOU’VE PLAYED YOUR CARDS NOW YOU MUST READ ‘EM AND WEEP

THE DECK’S BEEN CUT CAN’T CHA SEE, OH BUT IT DON’T MATTER TO ME

NO GIRL IT DOESN’T MATTER TO ME

NO GIRL IT DON’T MATTER TO ME, MY HEART IS BREAKIN’ BUT  GIRL IT DON’T MATTER TO ME, MY SOUL IS ACHIN’ BUT GIRL IT DON’T MATTER TO ME

OOO GIRL IT DON’T MATTER TO ME, I MAY BE CRYIN’ BUT GIRL IT DON’T MATTER TO ME, YOU KNOW I’M LYIN’ BUT GIRL IT DON’T MATTER TO ME
