Lloyd Cole - I didn't know that you cared Lyrics

Yes, you're takin' it badly, I know, I know
And you feel so alone
Everybody's got to tell you
What you already know

It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright
There's a riot goin' on, maybe I'm goin' under and

I didn't know that you cared
"Was it love that you had?"
She said, ‽Well, somethin' like that and I”
I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know

I see photographs strewn on the floor
Amidst you're black and you're young
Are you lookin' for somethin'
That's already gone?

It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright
There's a riot goin' on, maybe I'm goin' under and

I didn't know that you cared, somebody said
‽Peace is alright, could we give it a try?”
Well, I didn't know that you cared
I got a letter it was askin' for money, it said
Give what you can
Well, I don't know what I got
And I don't know if I really want to be, so well

Yes, I'm fallin' apart at the seems and I
I've been waitin' for years
Take a look in my eyes
Do you see any tears?

It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright
There's a riot goin' on, we're lions in slumber and

I didn't know that you cared and if I gave you some petrol
Would you make yourself useful?
Well, I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
Didn't even know you were there no
I didn't know that you cared

I really didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
