[Verse 1] I’ve got a mouth and I’ve got opinions, Never been good at fitting in. Say what I like, wear what I want, Let them talk, let them judge. I laugh it off, I roll my eyes, Tell everybody I’m just fine. But when the room goes quiet at night, Those little comments come back to life. [Pre-Chorus] I say your words don’t get to me, I’m everything I want to be. But there’s a little voice inside That wonders if you’re right. [Chorus] I don’t care what you think of me! I’m not here to make you happy! Say what you want, go on, take your shot! Your little opinions don’t mean a lot! But maybe they do… More than I want them to. I wish I could let it go, But it hurts more than you know. I don’t care! I never have! But sometimes… I wish that were true. [Verse 2] I’m not everybody’s cup of tea, And that’s perfectly fine with me. I’ve got my quirks, I’ve got my ways, Some people leave, some people stay. I can take a joke, I can take a hit, Pretend I’m never bothered by it. But sometimes something small gets through, And I spend all night thinking it through. [Pre-Chorus] I’m not asking you to understand, Or hold my feelings in your hands. I just wish that I could learn To let your little judgements burn. [Chorus] I don’t care what you think of me! I’m not here to make you happy! Say what you want, go on, take your shot! Your little opinions don’t mean a lot! But maybe they do… More than I want them to. I wish I could let it go, But it hurts more than you know. I don’t care! I never have! But sometimes… I wish that were true. [Bridge] I’ll tell you something I won’t say aloud, I’m not as fearless as I sound. I can be stubborn. I can be loud. I can pretend I’m standing proud. And most days, I really am. But sometimes… One careless sentence Can ruin my entire day. And I hate that. [Final Chorus] I don’t care what you think of me! I won’t change myself to keep you happy! Go ahead, say what you like! I’ll still be me at the end of the night! But yes, I care… I wish I didn’t, but it’s there. And maybe that’s just part of me, A side the world will never see. I don’t care! I never have! But quietly… Your words still get under my skin. [Outro] So go ahead. Have your opinions. I’ll have mine. And if I tell you I don’t care… Just let me believe it for a while.
