I Just Don't Give a Damn

The sun will rise tomorrow.
There’ll be another day.
But if you’re not here beside me
It won’t matter anyway.
Baby, I’m not suicidal,
No that’s not in my plan.
It’s just girl, without your lovin’
I just don’t give a damn.

I don’t care about elections
Or the price of gas.
The economy can go to hell
The world can kiss my ass.
I’ll just go through the motions
Survive the best I can.
But girl, without you with me,
I just don’t give a damn.

I’ll go to work on Monday.
Put in my nine to five.
I’ll eat a little something
Just to stay alive.
But you know my heart is broken
Yeah, that just the way I am.
Babe, without your lovin’
I just don’t give a damn.

I don’t care about elections
Or the price of gas.
The economy can go to hell
The world can kiss my ass.
I’ll just go through the motions
Survive the best I can.
But girl, without you with me,
I just don’t give a damn.

So who knows what will happen?
I might be living on the street.
I’ll walk around, try to tell
All the people that I meet.
That once I had the whole world.
Was a most respected man.
But ever since you left me
I just don’t give a damn.

I don’t care about the playoffs.
Or who wins the super bowl.
My eyes are red from crying
I have lost all self control.
No one but you could bring me back
And save me from this jam.
My darlin’ without you with me,
I just don’t give a damn.

    Alot of anger expressed in this piece. But it's okay to feel angry at some points, but when it's all the time, that's not right. Stellar flow and imagery! I like how you turned the anger into something beautiful. Thanks for entering and good luck!

    I think that this is a very sweet song. It flows very well, and is personal. Personal songs make ou even more connected to them than personal poems, so that was a wonderful choice. I like the way you restated the chorus instead of just saying to repeat the chorus. I'm too lazy to do that. There are a few awkward wordings and grammatical errors, so you might want to scan again to catch those. Also, there are some lines that are longer than the others and they stick out awkwardly.Other than that, it's quite good.

    Very well written indeed. It is hard in any time in our history not to do well with a love song. It will take 80% of the music world. My best wishes to you.
