She don't care
YEN TOWN BAND Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taking what you give her
She don't care
About the way you dress
She don't care
Talk to you about nothing
She don't care
Thank you for your time
Don't be a sick-boy
Stick to what you felt the way you want
You wanna tell her how you miss her everyday
Don't be a looser
Kicking and shouting all the way home
And when they get you there
You're left with nothing to say
Sweet as sugar
Took so much, you nearly lost your mind
And then you turned around and left when you could stay
Don't be a jerk
Pretending that you're the only one
You try to look but never see and that's okay
She don't care
Taking what you give her
She don't care
About the way you dress
She don't care
Talk to you about nothing
She don't care
Thank you for your time
Sit by the telephone today in case you call
(But I don't want to)
Watching the telephone again, it gets me down
I don't need this affair
Call on me today, ah, ah
You try to look but never see and that's okay
She don't care
Taking what you give her
She don't care
About the way you dress
She don't care
Talk to you about nothing
She don't care
Thank you for your time
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Love me again, love me again, love me again
The lyrics to YEN TOWN BAND's "She don't care" seem to revolve around the theme of unrequited love. The singer seems to be expressing how he feels about someone who doesn't seem to care about him. Through the song, he seems to be going through a range of emotions - from anger and frustration to sadness and longing.
The opening lines "She don't care, taking what you give her" suggest that the person he is interested in doesn't appreciate his efforts or care about him in the same way. He is frustrated that she doesn't even care about the little things, such as how he dresses or what they talk about, and is thankful for her time. The second verse seems to express his frustration and anger towards her, telling him not to be a sick-boy and stick to his feelings. He then talks about missing her every day and being left with nothing to say.
The song takes a slightly more hopeful tone in the last parts. The first lines of the final verse ("Sit by the telephone today in case you call, watching the telephone again, it gets me down") suggests that he is still waiting for her to call, but he acknowledges that he doesn't need the affair. The final lines, "Love me again, love me again, love me again" suggest that he still longs for her love and affection.
Overall "She don't care" is a poignant and relatable track about the pain and longing of unrequited love.
