Lyrics
WHO CARES
by Diane Lindsay
"Who cares"--was her constant refrain
"Who cares"--covered up her pain
'Cuz where else could she go to get away?
"Who cares"--was her standard reply
"Who cares"--she protected her pride
Unaware what she tried to hide showed in her eyes
Well I felt she hadn't always been bitter
That even she couldn't quite convince herself
But a dead-end job and a husband who
Might as well have been gone
Kept her "just about" to find someone
Who cares--and wouldn't mind if she cried
Who cares--so she could start a new life
And be there...and even share a few good times
Well one day she came to me and said she'd moved out
That it was too high a price to pay to stay
And I told her then, I'd always have a helping hand to lend
She said "there's nothing like a real good friend
Who cares--and wouldn't mind if I cry
Who cares--so I can start a new life
And be there...and even share a few good times"
So stick to
Who cares--and makes you feel you're OK
Who cares--what other people may say
And that way you'll become the one Who Cares
