I Don't Care

Blake Shelton · Original Album Series [2012]

There she was; laughin', talkin'

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!...
