I Don't Mind
MAYALL John & BLUESBREAKERS The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mud slides in the rain
The fire that took my old house
And things won't be the same
But I don't mind with my sweet woman by my side
Life ain't always easy but she always keeps me satisfied
We've had our share of quarrels
Through every situation
This love will keep us strong
And I don't mind whatever future has in store
Life ain't always easy but who could ask for more
We got a special family
Growing by degrees
We roll with all the punches
My woman stands by me
I don't mind as long as I can get back home
Got my sweet woman waiting
And I ain't gonna leave her alone
