"It No Longer Matters What I Do" lyrics

"It No Longer Matters What I Do"

We don't hurt each other much now
I can't recall the last time that you cried
We've just fallen out of touch somehow
I'm afraid our love has died

I've got several ways of knowing that
The paces that I've been going at
Is slowly driving me away from you
I've been rocking like a Rolling Stone
Leaving you at home alone
Taking it for granted you'd be true

But the signs have started showing how
If I don't start a-slowing down
I'll wind up without nothing left to lose
And it finally got through to me
That you might not be true at seeing
It no longer matters what I do

You don't bother me with questions
Like you used to do before
I'd feel better if you still got mad
I don't think I matter any more

Now I can stay out roaring every night
And drink my conscience out of sight
And you don't care what time that I get in
And when I decide to come on home
And call you on the telephone
You never even wonder where I've been

Now there's no more need for telling lies
Or building up my alibis
Or trying to apologize to you
But it's kind of got me hurting now
That I've found out for certain how
That it no longer matters what I do
It no longer matters what I do
