I Shouldn't Care (Je m'en fous pas mal) Songtext
von Édith Piaf

I shouldn′t care
What if he tells me that we're through?
I shouldn′t care
I'll get along, I always do

Why should I care?
Why beat my head against the wall?
I shouldn't care at all

This was supposed to be clever
Carefree and carelessly wild
Now when he tells me it′s over
I fall in love like a child


I didn′t care
Until the flame began to cool
I didn't care
But now I′m falling like a fool

It isn't fair
And I keep saying as I fall
I shouldn′t care at all

I have to work for a living
I'm no Marie-Antoinette
People who work for a living
Can′t run away to forget

So, here I am
Not even dreams left on my shelf
How near I am
To going mad here by myself

Why did I dare?
Right from the start, I swear, I knew
I shouldn't care, but I do
