Got a phone call just a week ago today
I knew her voice but I couldn’t place her name
she said hey babe tomorrow night at eight
meet me at the road motel and don’t be very late
(Build)
So I drove up to the motel and knocked upon the door
but when she opened it on up I swear my mouth dropped to the floor
(Chorus)
I don’t care what you say and I don’t care what you do
I got news for you baby I got better things to do
then to waste my time with you
I had to get away but somewhere not to far
so I drove down the highway and hit a local bar
but when I sat down on the bar stool and looked into the mirror
I saw her in the corner, she just wasn’t playin’ fair
She said don’t you remember just who I am
I said I’m sorry but I can’t say that I can
she said I was only fifteen and you were my first
Now I remember September the first
(Build)
Well I’m sorry to say that I messed with you then
believe me when I say that I won’t do that again
(Chorus)
I don’t care what you say and I don’t care what you do
I got news for you baby I got better things to do
then to waste my time with you
So she walked up to me and gave me a kiss
I don’t mean to break your heart but I’m in no mood for this
so don’t give me no lines ‘cause you meant nothin’ to me
that was a long time ago now can’t you just let me be
(Build)
She said just one more thing before I walk out that door
I said I’ve had all I can stand and I can’t take no more
(Chorus)
I don’t care what you say and I don’t care what you do
I got news for you baby I got better things to do
then to waste my time with you
So now I’m Sittin’ at home with nothin’ to do
when a man came to my door and said I got a letter for you.
When I opened it up and to my surprise
there was a picture of a kid and he had my eyes
In the letter she said that this was our kid
now maybe you can remember what it was that we did
she said I’m not asking you to make me your wife
because just like you wanted I am out of your life
(Build)
Written in red ink in a scribbled mess
at the end of the letter she wrote a P.S.
(Out-Chorus)
She said I don’t care what you say and I don’t care what you do
I got news for you honey I also got better things to do
then to waste my time with you
(Repeat Out-Chorus and fade)
