I Don't Care
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY

(Bobby Hart and Wes Farrell)

I don't care where you've been before and I don't care what you've done
Just care that you're here with me and I'm the one
I don't care if you've known a hundred others in the past
I don't care if I'm not the first, I just want to be the last

Leave your pride right outside
Come on in
Oh - my my my sweet baby
I don't care where you've been

I know some folks would rather talk than lend a helping hand
Throw stones at anything, they don't understand
They can't hurt you anymore if we don't let them in
Wear a smile and in a while that sun's right back again

Here's the sun we've just begun
Brand new day
Oh - my my my sweet baby
I don't care what they say

I don't care if they say you've never been a lady
I don't care if they say you're past us kind of shady
I only know I love you so and I want you for my baby

So let them put you down, I won't march in that parade
I don't want to hear about mistakes you might have made
I don't have the time to keep my mind on yesterday
I don't have the time to play the games those people play
Throw away yesterday
Come on in
Oh - my my my sweet baby
I don't care where you've been

I don't care if they say you've never been a lady
I don't care if they say you're past us kind of shady
I only know I love you so and I want you for my baby
