I've been used to seeing the world with the eyes of two
Now you're gone, no more window shopping with you
Guess I'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down
'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore
And that's what I'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore
I've been used, you might say that I've been misused
But I'm not gonna feel bad for myself even though I've been bruised, so bruised
Guess I'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down
'Cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore
And that's what I'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter anymore

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
