I Don't Care Anymore
Phil Collins · Hello I Must Be Goin
Drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore.
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.
'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore.
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cos ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey I'll do alright by myself
'Cos I know.
'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cos you held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore D'you hear? I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.
I won't be there no more
So get out of my way.
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more!
You know I don't care no more!
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no no more

Released on the album Hello I Must Be Goin, the track reflects the polished production style that defined Collins during the 1980s, blending soft rock sensibilities with his signature drumming and emotive vocal delivery. While often overshadowed by massive global hits like "In the Air Tonight" or "Another Day in Paradise," this recording stands as a testament to his consistent ability to craft intimate, relatable ballads. The song fits within a broader discography that successfully bridged the gap between rock and pop, securing his status as a defining artist of the era. Its melodic structure and restrained arrangement highlight Collins' skill in conveying complex feelings through understated musical arrangements.
