Lyrics for What Do I Care

When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be If the total isn't high enough when they figure me When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair What do I care? What do I care? What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while? When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip? I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips What do I care if I never have much money? And sometimes my table looks a little bare Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss You love me and I love you, so what do I care? What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while? When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip? I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips What do I care if I never have much money? And sometimes my table looks a little bare Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss You love me and I love you, so what do I care?
