I Don't Care
Blake Shelton · Original Album Series [2012]
Window shoppin' with a new guy
And I'd heard about him. I heard
She found him right around when we said good-bye.
And I came real close
And almost lost my temper.
But I bit my tongue, kept my cool
'Cause I remembered.
Chorus:
I don't care, she don't matter
I don't love her anymore, he can have her
I don't know why it slips my mind
I tell myself all the time
Guess I forgot again for a second there
That I don't care.
Almost 10:00, I should've known
His car would still be parked in her drive
Almost pulled in, knocked on her door
And gave her a piece of my mind.
Oh, but I just kept on driving
Back to my place
Wonderin' why I went so far
Out of my way when.
Chorus:
I don't care, she don't matter
I don't love her anymore, he can have her!
I don't know why it slips my mind
I tell myself all the time
Guess I forgot again for a second there
That I don't care.
When I got home
The light was blinkin' on that old machine
She said, "My brother's been in town
But he just left. And I miss you, give me a ring."
Chorus:
I still care, she's all that matters
I still love her just like always, gotta have her
I never got her off my mind
Been hopin' she would call sometime
I know it's late to be drivin' over there
But I don't care!...
