Don't you know I care
Or don't you care to know?
If you know I care,
How could you hurt me so.
Darling, you are part of ev'ry breath I take
Will you break my heart
Or give my heart a break?
I can't figure out what love's all about,
And where I fit into your scheme.
Am I wasting time, please tell me
'Cause I'm down to my last dream.
Won't you please be fair,
Love me or let me go
Don't you know I care
Or don't you care to know?
