I Never Cared for You
Willie Nelson · Teatro
Oh my heart is crying in the night for you
Oh, my God, oh don't you feel like a fool
You're fooling yourself with a millionaire
You think it's love but he don't care
And one of these days
You're gonna be surprised
Diamonds never made a lady, lover or a friend
I know it
Diamonds never made a lady, all your dreams will end
I know it
Your Californian nights
Warm body held you tight
Was just a dream
But all the diamond lights
Can't give you peacefull lives or sweet dreams
Oh my God, you really think you have it made
Your heart is won, with first class expenses paid
You drink champaign, eat caviar
A colour TV in the back of your car
But one of these days
You're gonna be surpised
Oh, my God, oh don't you feel like a fool
You're fooling yourself with a millionaire
You think it's love but he don't care
And one of these days
You're gonna be surprised
Diamonds never made a lady, lover or a friend
I know it
Diamonds never made a lady, all your dreams will end
I know it
Your Californian nights
Warm body held you tight
Was just a dream
But all the diamond lights
Can't give you peacefull lives or sweet dreams
Oh my God, you really think you have it made
Your heart is won, with first class expenses paid
You drink champaign, eat caviar
A colour TV in the back of your car
But one of these days
You're gonna be surpised
I Never Cared for You
Willie Nelson delivers a hauntingly direct performance on 'I Never Cared for You,' a track that exemplifies his mastery of country storytelling. Recorded for the 1994 album 'Teatro,' the song features Nelson's signature acoustic guitar work and a vocal delivery that balances raw emotion with characteristic understated cool. The lyrics explore themes of indifference and heartbreak, reflecting a perspective often found in his later catalog where he examines the complexities of relationships with unflinching honesty. This recording stands as a testament to his ability to craft intimate, narrative-driven songs that resonate deeply within the American roots music tradition.
