I SHOULDN'T CARE
Paroles: Rick French, musique: Michel Emer, enr. 11 juillet 1950

I shouldn't care

What if he tells me that we're through

I shouldn't care

I'll get along, I always do

Why should I care

Why beat my head against the wall

I shouldn't care at all...

This was supposed to be clever

Carefree and carelessly wild

Now when he tells me it's over

I fall in love like a child

I didn't care

Until the flame began to cool

I didn't care

But now I'm falling like a fool

It isn't fair

And I keep saying as I fall

I shouldn't care at all

I have to work for a living

I'm no Marie-Antoinette

People who work for a living

Can'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 shouldn't care... but I do...
