I Should Care
Sarah Vaughan · Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan
I should care; I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough, I sleep well
'Cept for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep
So I should care; I should let it upset me
I should care, but it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do
I Should Care
