Does It Matter

Dottie West · House of Love [RCA Victor] [1974]

(Donna Fargo)



There was a time I was afraid to love or be loved

And hurtin' was for the weak not the strong

And I've gone through all kinds of things on promises

And I still don't know the difference between right and wrong.



I keep hearing myself asking me who am I

What is it I'm tryin' so hard to do

And I'm not sure I'd ever trusted anyone completely

So does it matter that I took a chance on you.



Does it matter that I took a chance on loving you

When I didn't believe in me

Does it matter at all to you that I wanted to be what you wanted me to

And I wanted so much to be just right for you.



I guess it's just my nature to ask questions

So I hope that you don't mind much when I do

And even though I know I'll never know all the answers

Does it matter that I took a chance on you.



Does it matter at all to you that I wanted to be what you wanted me to

Oh does it matter that I took a chance on you...
