I Don't Mind
King Teddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't mind being alone
No one calls my telephone
No one rings my bell
For me, it's just as well
‘Cause I don't mind being alone

I don't mind feeling so blue
Gives my heart something to do
I've tried on other shades
But this one never fades
Now I don't mind feeling so blue

I don't mind at all
When you're down, you never fall

And luckily, I don't mind doing without
It's all I've got to talk about
What she took away
I treasure every day
So I don't mind doing without

I don't mind one bit
You can't lose if first you quit

And luckily, I don't mind wearing a frown
That's my smile grown up-side down
I flipped it just to see
But it just wasn't me
Now I don't mind wearing




I don't mind sharing
I don't mind, baby
