I Don't Care Anymore

I came into the city from the deep south

When the mills shut down

I married a man who treated me

Like he bought me by the pound

Packed my bags and left

With just twenty dollars in my purse

Took a lot of jobs

Went from bad to worse

Now my money's gone

I'm lying here on this lumpy bed

Now I don't know if I'm better off alive or dead

Hotel room, west side, east side

Men knocking at my door

Hotel room, west side, east side

And I don't care anymore

Then I met a guy smooth as silk

In a midtown bar

He told me with my good looks

I'd go very far

I didn't know what he meant

I thought he was heaven sent

Till I found out his sweet talking

Added up to street walking

That was the part

That finally broke my heart

I'm lying here on this lumpy bed

I don't know if I'm better off alive or dead

Hotel room, west side, east side

Men knocking at my door

Hotel room, west side, east side

And I don't care anymore

Don't care anymore

Money's all gone

Don't care anymore

Men knocking at my door
