It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Hall And Oates · Daryl Hall & John Oates [1975]
I've been used to seeing the world with the eyes of two
Now you're gone, no more window shopping with you
Guess I'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down
'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore
And that's what I'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore
I've been used, you might say that I've been misused
But I'm not gonna feel bad for myself even though I've been bruised, so bruised
Guess I'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down
'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore
And that's what I'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore
Now you're gone, no more window shopping with you
Guess I'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down
'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore
And that's what I'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore
I've been used, you might say that I've been misused
But I'm not gonna feel bad for myself even though I've been bruised, so bruised
Guess I'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down
'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore
And that's what I'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore
