One, and two, one, two, three, four

I know you tried hard, hard to get it right
There's a sadness in your eyes
Poor little one, they ruled you like a king
Don't be afraid to depend on me

Nothing matters
(It doesn't matter)
No
(It doesn't matter)
I say you keep a little soul and nothin' really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh
(It doesn't matter)
Honey, keep a little soul and nothing's gonna matter anymore

Lately I've been thinking 'bout gettin' outta town
Through all the heartache, gonna look around
You think it over, baby, you come with me
Don't be afraid to live what you believe

Nothing matters
(It doesn't matter)
No
(It doesn't matter)
When you keep a little soul and nothin' really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh
(It doesn't matter)
Honey, keep a little soul and nothing's gonna matter anymore
