The Only Thing I Care About Lyrics

She had the eyes of someone older

 I have the eyes that wander 'round

 I couldn't see what really mattered

 

 Caught hell from my boss

 Don't care about my job

 Caught a cold from the rain

 Don't care if i'm cold

 Played every record that i own today

 But the only thing i care about got away

 

 She was a walking work of art

 I am a broken wind-up toy

 I thought i knew what really mattered

 

 Got a flat on the road

 Don't care about my car

 Lost twenty-six bucks

 Don't care about my rent

 Caught every episode on tv today

 But the only thing i care about got away

 

 She had a brilliant future

 I have a past

 I have my memories

 But they're fading fast
