I Don't Mind (1966) Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

(Harlan Howard - Richard Johnson)
I don't mind, I don't mind
I did for a time but I don't mind.
It used to break my heart each time you cheated
I tried to leave the Lord knows how I tried
But I stay here no matter how I'm treated
And all it really cost me was my pride.
But I don't mind, I don't mind
I did for a time but I don't mind
You and I have a perfect understanding
You come and you go as you please
And I never get too angry or demanding
It's hard to get mad on your knees.
But I don't mind, I don't mind
I did for a time but I don't mind
Once I was strong as a mountain
I stood tall like a giant oak tree
Now my blood runs thin like water in a fountain
You took all the man out of me.
But I don't mind baby, I don't mind
I did for a time but I don't mind...
