I Don’t Care Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you found another girl
I don't care (I don't care)
If you think you love the girl
I don't care (I don't care)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just don't start your lying
'Cause I know I'll start crying
Now that you are free, let me be

[Chorus 1]
I don't ca- except when the day is through
That's when I'll remember you
The things you do

[Verse 2]
Take her to the places where
We used to go (I don't care)
Introduce her to the friends
I used to know (I don't care)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If she asks about me
Tell her you can live without me
Tell her anything, everything
[Chorus 2]
I don't ca- except when I'm with someone new
Everything we say and do
Reminds me of you

[Instrumental]
I don't care
I don't care

[Pre-Chorus 3]
If you only want someone
To have a little fun with
You know where I'll be, come to me

[Chorus 3]
I don't ca- I'll throw my pride away
If I ever hear you say
You're back to stay

[Outro]
I don't care, I will throw my pride away
If I ever hear you say
You're back to stay
I don't care, I will throw my pride away
If I ever hear you say
You're back to stay
I don't care, I will throw my pride away...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
