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

Shakespear’s Sister is a pop-rock duo formed in 1988 by Siobhan Fahey, who left Bananarama after disagreements with the musical direction the band was going. The band was originally intended to be Fahey’s solo project, but immediately became a duo after she recruited American singer Marcella Detroit (aka Marcy Levy).
