Say my name, and his in the same breath, I dare you to say they taste the same, Let the leaves fall off in the summer And let December glow in flames Erase myself and let go, Start it over again in Mexico These friends, they don't love you They just love the hotel suites, now I don't care what you think, As long as it's about me The best of us can find happiness, in misery I don't care what you think, As long as it's about me The best of us can find happiness, in misery Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance, I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants Pull a breath like another cigarette, Pawn shop heart trading up, said no I'm the oracle in my chest, Let the guitar scream like a fascist, Sweat it out, shut your mouth, Free love on the streets, but In the alley it ain't that cheap now I don't care what you think, As long as it's about me The best of us can find happiness, in misery I don't care what you think, As long as it's about me The best of us can find happiness, in misery Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think, As long as it's about me, you said-a I don't care just what you think, As long as it's about me, you said-a I don't care (I don't care) You said I don't care (I don't care) Said I don't care, I don't care I don't care (I don't care), I said-a, I don't care I don't care what you think, As long as it's about me The best of us can find happiness, in misery I don't care what you think, As long as it's about me The best of us can find happiness, in misery
