I Do and I Don’t Care Songtext
von Self Esteem

I do and I don′t care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don′t care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and I don′t care
I do and I don′t care, I do and the joke's on you
′Cause you do
You do, don't you?

I do and I don′t care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don′t care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and I don′t care
I do and I don′t care, I do and the joke's on you
′Cause you do
You do, don't you?

"Be very careful what you wish for,"
She said, looking at me all smug
Like she was the first person to say that
I′m not complaining
"I'm not complaining," I say
I′m whingeing in a new way


And as yet another person
With a doctorate in Internet
Diagnoses me with ADHD
I'm done, I don't care
But I do

I′m still fifteen years old, surely?
The passing of time is only measured
By the child you talk of
While I talk about mine—my childhood
The only child I know

I watch the biased-cut movie
On repeat in my head
It′s still me, but in an old way

One day
One day you will see your reflection
In the pub window
And you're smoking
Even though you′ve never been a smoker
And you'll think
"Fuck me
Is this really all there is?"

This really is all there is
And that′s the thing
You've got to get comfy with


We′re not chasing happiness anymore, girls
We're chasing nothing
The great big still
The deep blue okay
And we're okay today

If I′m so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I′m so strong
Why am I broken?

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I′m so strong
Why am I broken?

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I′m so strong
Why am I broken?

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I′m so strong
Why am I broken?

I do and I don't care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don′t care, I do and I don′t care
I do and I don't care, I do and I don′t care
I do and I don't care, I do and the joke′s on you
'Cause you do
You do, don′t you?
