I don't care about places, religion or races,
Well I don't care yeah, I'm faithless: I care about you

I don't care about money, you can scream you don't love me!
I'll make you so proud of me, and you can care for me too...

Yeah I don't care about time,
I want you body and mind,
Yeah we've got tonight
And nothing left to lose
I don't have any answers, I'm willing to take chances
I don't live in the past yeah: I care about you

I don't care about people- take that thought and make it illegal!
I've had enough with equal
This fear and seasonal blues
No one ain't ever bring you flowers
Yes I've been drifting for hours, 
With silhouettes and summer showers
That shine like you do

Yeah I don't care about time,
I want you body and mind,
Yeah we've got tonight
And nothing left to lose
I don't have any answers, I'm willing to take chances
I don't live in the past yeah: I care about you

Yeah I don't care about time
(Any other lover in the world's just wasting time)
And we've got tonight
(Any other lover in the world's just wasting time)
I don't have any answers
(Any other lover in the world's just wasting time)
Don't live in the past yeah
(Any other lover in the world's just wasting time)
