What do You 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.
You're such a rebel now can you remember when
They used to think you knew what added up to ten
You're sick and tired of taking punches to your side
Now you're gonna add it up to any number that you like
(Tell me) What do you care
Ã,Â'Bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
Ã,Â'Bout what other people think
What do you care
You thought there'd always be another shot to take
You crave attention now with every move you make
You like to advertise your interest in success
But you don't know on the score of who you're trying to impress
(Tell me) What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
Baby yeah yeah
Everybody's gonna have their say
You can't please everyone
Why delay what you say
Let's decide to name the day
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
No matter what you need I'll never be your fool
Do me a favour and I'll do the same for you
Go ahead do what you have to do
Don't worry if you should do it
Tell me you love me now
Oh girl I wish you would do it
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
What do you care
Baby, yeah yeah
What do you care
'Bout what other people think
