Not That I Care
Unveiling Heartache: Ricky Van Shelton's Melodic Reflections on Past Love
Lyrics
So you saw her last night with her new love
Acknowledging that the person saw his former lover with her new partner the previous night.
Yes they tell me they make quite a pair
Confirmation that people have commented on the compatibility of the new couple.
And that they both look happy together
Noting observations that the new couple appears happy when together.
I just wonder not that I care
Expressing indifference but hinting at a hidden curiosity about the ex-lover's happiness.
Tell me was she as lovely as ever
Inquiring about the ex-lover's appearance and beauty during the recent encounter.
Like an angel with golden hair
Describing the ex-lover as angelic with golden hair.
Does she still close her eyes when she dances
Asking if the ex-lover still exhibits a certain behavior while dancing.
I just wonder not that I care
Reiterating a lack of genuine concern but expressing a lingering curiosity about the ex-lover's actions.
Once I thought I couldn't live without her
Reflecting on past feelings of dependency on the ex-lover.
Funny how wrong I could be
Acknowledging the irony of being wrong about the perceived inability to live without the ex-lover.
Now I never even think about her
Asserting the current emotional detachment, claiming not to think about the ex-lover.
What she does doesn't mean a thing to me
Emphasizing the insignificance of the ex-lover's actions in the narrator's life.
Well it's late so I guess I'll be going
Indicating the intention to leave due to discomfort, possibly caused by the emotional impact of the situation.
Too much smoke what I need is some air
Expressing a need for fresh air, implying emotional suffocation.
By the way did she ask you about me
Inquiring whether the ex-lover asked about the narrator during the encounter.
I just wonder not that I care
Repeating the lack of genuine concern but maintaining a subtle interest in the ex-lover's thoughts about the narrator.
I just wonder not that I care
Reiterating the lack of genuine concern while subtly acknowledging a hidden curiosity about the ex-lover's actions.
