I don't care about your ways of love and life and walkin'
And I don't care about your days of carin' and not talkin'

Ah, it's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright

I don't care about your present ways and your nightlife you keep burning
And I don't care about what your old man says about the ways you have of learnin'

Ah, it's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
You won't call

It doesn't matter if your sun shines out in the evening
Don't wait, it won't wait for you to come all night, come a-running

I don't care about your ways of love and life and walkin'
And I don't care about your days of carin' and not talkin'

It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
It's alright, the way that you live
