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 hit my head against the wall?
I shouldn´t care, at all.

This was supposed to be clever,
Carefree and carelessly wild.
Now that 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 care?
Right from the start I swear I knew.
I shouldn´t care, but I do.
