She Don’t Care

[Verse 1] My baby slips in quiet and slow Hair all wild from the wind outside Doesn’t care who runs the show Or whose name shines ten feet wide She laughs with her head thrown back Like trouble never crossed her mind Leaves a trail of cigarette ash And every fool falls right behind [Pre-Chorus] She don’t need pearls or shiny things She’s got that look that silence brings [Chorus] My baby don’t care about glory My baby don’t care for gold She tells her little crooked stories Like she’s already bought and sold She moves soft across the floorboards One slow song and the room goes still Lord, that woman’s bad for me And I don’t think I want the cure [Verse 2] Rich boys line up one by one Perfume thick and wallets fat She steals a sip of someone’s rum Then disappears just like that Sunday morning in a wrinkled shirt Coffee cold beside the bed She says “love always ends in smoke” Then kisses me instead [Pre-Chorus] Everybody wants her name Nobody forgets her face [Chorus] My baby don’t care about glory My baby don’t act impressed She walks through every crowded party Like she couldn’t care less She moves soft across the floorboards Low heels tapping out of time And every heart within ten miles Beats a little out of line [Bridge] Ba-da ba… Piano shaking in the corner Ba-da ba… Half past three in the morning She ain’t an angel, ain’t a thief Just something in between The kind of woman poets lose Somewhere around seventeen [Final Chorus] My baby don’t care about glory No silver screen, no diamond rings She just hums along to the trumpet Like nothing means a thing She moves soft across the floorboards Leaves the whole place wanting more And when she’s gone the air still sways Like she just crossed the floor
