Back in the day
When I was younger
I wasn't afraid
Of giving my heart to you
Now and again
I get sentimental
But I know it's just a phase I'm going through
And every time I start to slip
I just remind myself
I need only think of it
I went through so much hell
You say ya want to get things back
The way they used to be
Can you give me one good reason
Why should I, darling

Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Oh darling, why should I care?
Why should I care?

Back in the day
I should of been wiser
But what can I say
I should of been onto you
But I was afraid
That you'd break my heart in two
Fate would have it that you broke it anyway, baby
And every time I close my eyes
I just remind myself
You told about a million lies
You put my heart through hell
And now you want to get with me
Just for old times sake
Well I am not about to make that same mistake

Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Oh darling, tell me why should I care?
Why should I care?

You see a girl that you gave all your love
I see a girl you took advantage of
You see a girl that you cannot forget
I see a man that I cannot forgive
Tell me why

Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I give a chance, baby?
Why should I care for you?
Oh, why should I care, should I care?
Why should I care?

Back in the day when I was young (why should I care for you?)
I wasn't afraid to love
Back in the day (why should I care for you?)
You were the one what was I thinking of
Back in the day (why should I care for you?)
Should have been wiser
Should have been onto you
But I was afraid I make a mistake (why should I care for you?)
No one knows, tell me why

Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
