I Should Care
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know I should pity me
But I don't because, you see
I have loved and I have learned
And as far as Im concerned
I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough I sleep well
'cept for a dream or two
But, then, I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep
I should care
I should let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn't get me
Maybe I should find
Someone as lovely as you
But I should care
And I do
