What Do I 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.
When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be
If the total isn't high enough when they figure me
When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair
What do I care what do I care
What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while
When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile
What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip
I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips
What do I care if I never have much money
And sometimes my table looks a little bare
Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss
You love me and I love you so what do I care
[ guitar ]
What do I care just as long...
