Why Do I Care
Big Money Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big money
On things
That she really needs
She just has to have
A new golf bag
The blue one's
So out of season
When my banker gets worn out
When he calls me up and screams
Wake up or it's good night
Why do I care about you
Why can't I let it go
Why do I care about you
When I know you don't want me to
Why do I waste my precious time
No matter how I try
Can't get you off my mind
This weekend
She'll go away to Paris
For a tennis course
Quite expensive
Guess she's worth it
But I don't like
The trainer she's staying with
So how do you think it feels
When my friends are wondering why
And I don't know what to tell them
I'm still asking myself
Why do I care about you
Why can't I let it go
Why do I care about you
When I know you don't want me to
Why do I waste my precious time
No matter how I try
Can't get you off my mind
I still recall the first time we met
With a piercing forehand
I ran towards the net
Why do I care about you
Why can't I let it go
Why do I care about you
When I know you don't want me to
Why do I waste my precious time
No matter how I try
Can't get you off my mind
The song "Why Do I Care" by Big Money portrays a man who spends big money on his lover to make her happy but still wonders why he cares so much when she does not reciprocate the same feelings. The singer of the song talks about his lady's desire for luxury, and he sacrifices himself endlessly to fulfill her desires. Despite his lavish spending and apparent love for her, the singer acknowledges that she doesn't love him back, and he can't figure out why he continues to care about her. He reminisces about the time they first met and their mutual love of tennis but can't shake his feelings for her.
The lyrics reveal the theme of unrequited love and emotional struggle, which creates a flow of emotional frustration throughout the song. It deals with issues of the inequality of romantic relationships, the compulsion to spend and satisfy lovers, and the pain of giving someone your all when they don't understand or appreciate it.
Overall, the song suggests the singer's insecurities and vulnerability, making it relatable to many people who might have gone through similar situations in their lives.

I'm spending
I am using my money
Big money
A lot of money
On things
Purchasing items
That she really needs
Items that she wants
She just has to have
She wants this item badly
A new golf bag
A new bag for golf clubs
The blue one's
The one that is colored blue
So out of season
Not in current fashion
So how do you think it feels
Asking for an opinion on how it would make one feel
When my banker gets worn out
When my banker starts getting annoyed
When he calls me up and screams
When he yells at me on the phone
Wake up or it's good night
Get your act together or risk being in debt
Why do I care about you
Questioning why they still have feelings for someone
Why can't I let it go
Why is it so hard to move on
When I know you don't want me to
Knowing that the other person does not want to be with them
Why do I waste my precious time
Time is valuable and yet they are still thinking about this person
No matter how I try
Trying, but still unable to move on
Can't get you off my mind
They cannot stop thinking about this person
This weekend
During the upcoming weekend
She'll go away to Paris
She is traveling to Paris
For a tennis course
To participate in a tennis lesson
Quite expensive
Costs a lot of money
Guess she's worth it
Believing that the amount spent is worth it
But I don't like
Disliking something
The trainer she's staying with
The person who is instructing her
So how do you think it feels
Asking for an opinion on how it would make one feel
When my friends are wondering why
When others are questioning their actions
And I don't know what to tell them
Not having an explanation
I'm still asking myself
They are still uncertain
I still recall the first time we met
Recalling the first time they met
With a piercing forehand
With a powerful tennis shot
I ran towards the net
They moved forward on the court

Ett av dom bästa banden Sverige har/ har haft. Big Money släppte 2 fullängdare som tyvärr inte sålde så bra, därav att dom inte fortsatte (tolkar jag det som). Dock kan man höra delvis samma tongångar på Rongdals cd.
