Song lyrics

I don't care if you never come home,
I don't mind if you just keep on
Rowing away on a distant sea,
‘Cause I don't love you and you don't love me

You cause a commotion when you come to town;
You give ‘em a smile and they melt.
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine,
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.

I don't care what you do at night,
Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights.
I'm gonna leave you alone, I'll just let it be,
I don't love you and you don't love me.

I got a problem. Can you relate?
I got a woman calling love-hate.
We made a vow we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.

I tried to love you for years upon years,
You refuse to take me for real.
It's time you saw what I want you to see,
And I'd still love you if you'd just love me.
