I Don’t Care As Long As I Got You

Baby, when I look at you
I think my whole world may go under
But when I look in your eyes
I see through our disguise
But when I think of what we have
I am happy just to have you

Chorus:
Maybe our love would save some lives
Or maybe it could save some lies
But I don’t care as long as I got you

Have you thought about our luckiness
Or thought about our happiness?
What could we wish for?
More?
More what?
Yeah… see… you don’t know
And I don’t know
We have all the finest things we could wish for
Don’t you think?
Or am I the only one of us who thinks that?
Or what?

Even though you’re not with me now
I’ve got to find out how
You could leave me with such a big pain
Every day I think about that love there was
And also what were of luckiness and happiness
And now you don’t care at all
Am I understanding it right?
You would have left me that other night
If you could, but I held you so tight!

Chorus 2:
Maybe our love would have saved some lives
And maybe it had saved some lies
But I don’t care now, ’cause we’re through!

If everybody loved each other
Instead of leaving as soon as it’s over
The world would be a better place to be
Everybody has to be something special to each other
And not just say:
(Spoken):
“When we’re through, I don’t want to see you anymore, because
You had hurt me so deep…”
I think we should forgive and forget
So I want to do that now
Without sooner regret

Chorus 2.

Even though we make mistakes sometimes
We have to care about each other anyway
Maybe we could understand each other
If we talked and made things clear
Open up your ears
And hear
What I have to say:

Chorus 2 twice.

Baby, when I look at you
I think my whole world may go under
(But now there’s another reason)
And when I look in your eyes
I see through our disguise
And when I think of what we had
I was happy when I had you

Chorus 2 twice.
