What Do You Care

What Do You Care - Patricia Conroy

Well you called me from

Your new home

On the other side of town

Just to find out how

I was doing on my own

Well just listen to the silence

When you hang up the phone

And darling that's my life

Since you've been gone

But what do you care

You've got someone

With you there

And you don't have

To cry yourself to sleep

What do you care

How I'm doing without you here

You're never coming back

So what do you care

I still go to work at seven

I'm usually home by five

I guess nothing's changed

Since you walked out my door

I still wake up

And greet each morning

With a pillow in my arms

Till I find out

I'm not dreaming anymore

What do you care

You've got someone

With you there

And you don't have

To cry yourself to sleep

What do you care

How I'm doing without you here

You're never coming back

So what do you care

After all this time

You've got me on a line

Oh it must be more than

Small talk on your mind

But what do you care

You've got someone

With you there

And you don't have

To cry yourself to sleep

What do you care

How I'm doing without you here

You're never coming back

So what do you care

No you're never coming back

So what do you care
