Walking through the rooms in my head
I came across your image
You looked at me with that sweet smile and said
Something they won't let me repeat
We hurt the ones we love the most
It's a subtle form of compliment
I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care, no
Mark the spot you hate with an X
Then shoot your bow and arrow
Do your worst get it all off your chest
I'll hold my breath and swallow
We hurt the ones we love the most
It's a subtle form of discipline
I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care, no
I don't care if you act like a queen
I don't care if you take it out on me
I've got nine lives and I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care
[In a boreolic iceberg came Victoria]
[Queen Victoria sitting shocked upon on the rocking horse of a wave]
[Said to the Laureate, this minx of course,]
[Is sharp as any lynx and blacker, deeper]
[Than the drinks as any hottentot]
[Without remorse, for the minx said she]
[The drinks you can see are hot as any Hottentot]
[And not the goods for me,]
[Hot as any Hottentot]
[And not the goods for me]
I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care, now
I don't care if you act like a queen
I don't care if you take it out on me
I've got nine lives and I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care
I came across your image
You looked at me with that sweet smile and said
Something they won't let me repeat
We hurt the ones we love the most
It's a subtle form of compliment
I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care, no
Mark the spot you hate with an X
Then shoot your bow and arrow
Do your worst get it all off your chest
I'll hold my breath and swallow
We hurt the ones we love the most
It's a subtle form of discipline
I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care, no
I don't care if you act like a queen
I don't care if you take it out on me
I've got nine lives and I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care
[In a boreolic iceberg came Victoria]
[Queen Victoria sitting shocked upon on the rocking horse of a wave]
[Said to the Laureate, this minx of course,]
[Is sharp as any lynx and blacker, deeper]
[Than the drinks as any hottentot]
[Without remorse, for the minx said she]
[The drinks you can see are hot as any Hottentot]
[And not the goods for me,]
[Hot as any Hottentot]
[And not the goods for me]
I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care, now
I don't care if you act like a queen
I don't care if you take it out on me
I've got nine lives and I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care
