If you don't love me Why don't you tell me Instead of runnin' around With all the other guys in town Can't you see You're hurtin' me Don't you care (don't you care), don't you care If you don't want me Why don't you tell me Instead of tellin' lies And makin' me cry Whatever happened to all the good times we used to have The times we cried and laughed I want to know, I want to know Will you ever love me again Or will I find out that this is the end Don't you care You said that you'd believe me Then why'd you ever leave me I'm standin' here all alone Without a girl of my own Don't you care (don't you care) don't you care
