I Don't Care 

Arriving from the bar last night,
What strange thing did I see?
A message on the phone that said
My girl was through with me.

How could she do this thing to me?
I mean, how could she dare?!
I had to show that silly girl
That I just didn't care!

I had to make her feel the pain
Of giving me the air.
I called her up to tell her just
How much I didn't care.

The phone was busy all night long!
It really wasn't fair.
She should have had call waiting so
She'd know I didn't care.

This morning I jumped out of bed
And hurried over there
To prove to her, once and for all,
How much I didn't care.

I stood there on the sidewalk,
Looked completely unaware,
And, when she'd pass, I'd turn away
To show I didn't care.

But she must have left early which
Is really something rare
And so I lost my chance to show
How little that I cared.

No matter. To her job I went.
The guards gave me a stare
And wouldn't let me in to show
Her that I didn't care!

So all day long I waited. Now
My nerves began to wear.
I had to let her know how much
I really didn't care.

Missed her again! This turned into
A horrible nightmare.
Why should it be so hard to show
This girl I didn't care?

So here I am, at midnight,
Bushes tangled in my hair.
This time I have the perfect plan
To show her I don't care.

I'll toss stones at her window so
That she will be aware
That I don't even miss her and
I truly do not care!

Gee! Look at those round, flashing lights!
And what's that bright red glare?
Methinks it's best to wait a bit
To show her I don't care.

I'll return again tomorrow and
I'll end this sad affair.
She'll really feel bad when she
Sees how I just don't care.
