I Don't Mind
Samuel and the Dragon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did your mother like your Sunday dress
Astrology eradicated
So what, so what?

It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind

I'm not out for us to fly or be set free
So what, so what?
I'd show you, you'd show me, so much, so much

It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind

It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind

Your blood, it flows in from the western sea
Your eyes, they shine in through this shaded tree
Oh I believe in you
These places, they have changed
I don't know anything but you know me,
Oh, you know me

It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind

It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,




It's all that we can give, and I don't mind
At all

"Why arent you scared" "im just not" best script writing award goes to

@TheJokerX94

If anything I feel that response is more realistic, surely there's been times in your life when someone's asked you something and your reply was "i'm just not" or other variants along those lines

@Crow__007

@@TheJokerX94 True more realistic to say that than to give a whole speech

@parods

That was a nasty martial arts master right there. Samo Hung is really a fine oriental actor.
