It don't matter to me If you really feel that You need sometime to be free Time to go out searching for yourself Hoping to find Time to go to find And it don't matter to me If you take up with someone who's better than me 'Cause your happiness is all I want For you to find peace your piece of mind Lotta people have an ego hang-up 'cause they want to be the only one How many came before it really doesn't matter Just as long as you're the last Everybody's moving on and try to find out What's been missing in the past And it don't matter to me If your searching brings you Back together with me 'Cause there'll always be an empty room Waiting for you An open heart Waiting for you Time is on my side 'Cause it don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me It don't matter to me 'Cause there'll always be, an empty room Waiting for you An open heart Waiting for you Time is on my side 'Cause it don't matter to me
