"What Do I Care" lyrics

What Do I Care

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?

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?
