I shouldnÂ’t care
What if he tells me that weÂ’re through
I shouldnÂ’t care
IÂ’ll get along, I always do
Why should I care
Why beat my head against the wall
I shouldnÂ’t care at allÂ…

This was supposed to be clever
Carefree and carelessly wild
Now when he tells me itÂ’s over
I fall in love like a child

I didnÂ’t care
Until the flame began to cool
I didnÂ’t care
But now IÂ’m falling like a fool
It isnÂ’t fair
And I keep saying as I fall
I shouldnÂ’t care at all

I have to work for a living
IÂ’m no Marie-Antoinette
People who work for a living
CanÂ’t run away to forget

So here I am
Not even dreams left on my shelf
How near I am
To going mad here by myself
Why did I dare
Right from the start, I swear I knew
I shouldnÂ’t careÂ… but I doÂ…
