Don’t Care If You Love Me by Melodie Yvonne

I never say stuff I don’t mean
But sometimes don’t say what I do
Especially when starin’ in those big blue eyes
I don’t say what I’m thinkin’ to you

My words speak as loud as my deeds
‘Cause words I’ll not say lest I do
My words are my bond and they are what I am
So believe what I’m saying to you

Believe when I say that I’m walking away
Believe me your words are all crumbling
Your actions speak louder than I’ll ever hear
And I’m not even sure if you love me

It’s all just enough for right now
I feel like I’m payin’ my dues
But don’t be mistaken ill not be your lady and
I’m far passed done being used

My cards are all out on the table
And now I got nothin’ to lose
So do you worst with unquenchable thirst
I’m so numb I can’t feel your abuse

Believe when I say that I’m walking away
Believe me your words are all crumbling
Your actions speak louder than I’ll ever hear
And I finally know now you don’t love me

I never say stuff I don’t mean
But sometimes don’t say what I do
Especially when starin’ in those big blue eyes
I don’t say what I’m thinkin’ to you

I’m scared to be lonely or with you
I don’t wanna choose one or choose two
But I just keep starin’ in those big ole blue eyes
And I just don’t know if we’re through

Believe when I say I’m not walking away
Believe me your words are still crumbling
Your actions speak louder than I’ll ever hear
But I finally don’t care if you love me

Oh no I finally don’t care if you love me
I stay ‘cause I finally don’t care if you love me
