“It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” Lyrics
There you go and baby, here am I.
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry.
Golly gee, what have you done to me?
ButI guess it doesn’t matter any moreDo you remember baby, last September
How you held me tight, each and every night
Oh baby, how you drove me crazy
Well I guess it doesn’t matter any more There AIN’T no use in me a-cryin’.
’cause I’ve done everything and I’m sick of tryin’.
I’ve thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over youNow you go your way, BABY, and I’ll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
And I’ll find somebody new and baby, we’ll say we’re throughAnd you won’t matter anymoreThere ain’t no use in me a-cryin’.
’cause I’ve done everything and now I’m sick of tryin’.
I’ve thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over youNow you go your way, baby, and I’ll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
And I’ll find somebody new and baby, we’ll say we’re throughYou won’t matter anymoreYou won’t matter anymore
You won’t matter anymore
And you won’t matter anymore
