I Don't Care
The Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't care what you do
And I don't really care about who you screw
And I don't know what to do
When I drink I think of you
And I, don't care about you
1-2, 1-2 FUCK YOU!
And I don't care about you




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Man's song I Don't Care may come off as insensitive and vulgar, but upon closer inspection, they reveal a sense of detachment and emotional numbness. The singer is expressing a lack of interest in the actions and relationships of another person, suggesting that perhaps they have been hurt or disappointed in the past and have since disengaged from caring about others. This is further emphasized in the line "When I drink I think of you," indicating that even when under the influence, the singer cannot bring themselves to truly care about this person.


The repetition of the phrase "And I don't care about you" and the use of the expletive "FUCK YOU!" in the chorus drive home the point that the singer has no emotional investment in this individual or their life. The abrupt ending of the song with this final statement also reinforces the idea of closure and finality, as though the singer is done with this person and has moved on.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't care what you do
Your actions are of no consequence to me


And I don't really care about who you screw
I am indifferent to the people you engage in sexual relations with


And I don't know what to do
I am uncertain or unable to decide my course of action


When I drink I think of you
Under the influence of alcohol, thoughts of you come to mind


And I, don't care about you
My feelings towards you are minimal or nonexistent


1-2, 1-2 FUCK YOU!
I am expressing my disinterest and distaste towards you in a vulgar manner


And I don't care about you
My stance on our relationship remains unchanged
