THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - I Don't Care

(Bobby Hart and Wes Farrell)



I don't care where you've been before and I don't care what you've done

Just care that you're here with me and I'm the one

I don't care if you've known a hundred others in the past

I don't care if I'm not the first, I just want to be the last



Leave your pride right outside

Come on in

Oh - my my my sweet baby

I don't care where you've been



I know some folks would rather talk than lend a helping hand

Throw stones at anything, they don't understand

They can't hurt you anymore if we don't let them in

Wear a smile and in a while that sun's right back again



Here's the sun we've just begun

Brand new day

Oh - my my my sweet baby

I don't care what they say



I don't care if they say you've never been a lady

I don't care if they say you're past us kind of shady

I only know I love you so and I want you for my baby



So let them put you down, I won't march in that parade

I don't want to hear about mistakes you might have made

I don't have the time to keep my mind on yesterday

I don't have the time to play the games those people play

Throw away yesterday

Come on in

Oh - my my my sweet baby

I don't care where you've been



I don't care if they say you've never been a lady

I don't care if they say you're past us kind of shady

I only know I love you so and I want you for my baby
