Doesn't Really Matter - Janet Jackson

It doesn't really matter that I loved you How many reasons call It doesn't really matter at all It doesn't matter that I failed to Break down your father's wall It really doesn't matter at all Why tell me you don't understand when you do I thought I had something to say But it really doesn't matter at all, yeah It really doesn't matter at all, yeah It really doesn't matter at all, yeah It really doesn't matter I changed my name To be rid of the things that I want from you It's strange But a name is a name and the truth is the truth Oh, there is always Always someone there to remind me So I learn to live with shame Tell myself I feel no pain, but I do And if I have to tell you Then it really doesn't matter at all, yeah It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all, yeah It really doesn't matter It doesn't matter at all Loving there's promises, promises And it's no good looking back Because time's a thief and I believe that I'm too old for that We're just saying the things that we've said Forever It doesn't really matter that I loved you How many seasons fall It's too bad It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all, yeah It really doesn't matter at all, yeah It really doesn't matter

I spent some time across the waves I learned a lot of things I never could I waved my magic wand over the past I never understood It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for It really doesn't matter at all We strolled around on different ground There must have been some kind of reason Nothing ventured, nothing found Must have been the wrong season It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for It really doesn't matter at all I flew you high, I flew you low I flew you all the way around You played for me your pretty tune Now look what I have found It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all, doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all, doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for, doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all

Mmm, what's it like To not have to think about it? It seems nice Not a care, so quiet Maybe I'm consumed by my mental Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well If I medicate, would it help me? 'Cause I'm hurting, I feel unwell You know how I feel You've told me before Although my fears are real The things I fear are not I know it doesn't matter I know it doesn't matter None of this even matters I know it doesn't matter I know it doesn't matter None of this even matters Check that Have to check that the oven is off This happens every night Sometimes you tell me off Maybe I'm consumed by my mental Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well If I medicate, would it help me? 'Cause I'm hurting, I feel unwell You know how I feel You've told me before Although my fears are real The things I fear are not I know it doesn't matter I know it doesn't matter None of this even matters I know it doesn't matter I know it doesn't matter None of this even matters You say "Why are you thinking these things?" (These things) How do I even explain? (Explain) "You're scared of almost everything" (everything) I know and it's really a drain (a drain) Hide under a pillow (pillow) Something's at the window (window) I'm too scared to check though Now I'm crossing my fingers Flicking off the switches Is my house filled with witches? What is my mind? What is it like To unwind? What's it like?

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.

The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air You know it's funny how the people say the world is changed, It's like: Saying that stranger's a kind of strange It's like: Saying that water is kind of wet It's like: Saying that Elvis is kind of dead It's evident to anyone with half a brain that things change, That's why books have more than one page, That's why, me and my grandfather aren't the same age, That's why New Kids On The Block thery're not rockin' on Triple-J But, the more things change, the more they stay the same Same old girls, same wars, same games Sure, there's climate change, and there's terrorists and AIDS But we used to have the nazis And now it's was way way way worse But things get bad, then get better, Before I started eating bree, I used to eat cheddar The world is always gonna change, only love stays the same, Like I say in the refrain The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air When I died, I got them to cryogenically freeze me Believe me, it cost four million, that's cheap To see the future, see infinity, I thought that I had proven the truth of man's divinity But I discovered, I was poor like a chimney sweep, The richest man is just a tramp in the scheme of things Up there in the future, it wasn't much fun, Just a bunch of frozen businessman dreaming of a refund "Gimme back my money" They were yellin', Calling for the manager They were used to those credit card advantages But MasterCard can't change the past, can it? No kind of plastic is worth shit on a dead planet The whole place was cold like you wouldn't believe Just dead rocks in a dried up sea Just like time gone by Just like five fuckin' billion BC The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air Instrumental The meek shall inherit the earth, they're fine Don't have to fight for that shit Just have to bide your time Keep quiet, don't write any rhymes if you can help it 'Cos I'm sure god favors the silent, not the violent, Maybe the vibrant, definitely firemen Maybe the prime mister if he sticks to his assignment To lead wisely and not be divisive And while I'm on the subject, God, can you make him bring back human rights All right, fine, this is not a diatribe Just an ordinary rhyme about extraordinary times Hey, digital natives, on the love super highway You come my way leave e-mails and just fly away How good's that? I guess it's not all bad Crap, shit, fuck! We can still make positive tracks, Cut them on wax, under the full moon, Bury 'em for a month, And deep fry that to make, to make beats fat Fatter in batter, that's my motto, Like Specto said: back to mono, before he went loco Chatter for chatters sake that's the game, So I write rhymes that don't nessecerely mean a thing Sometimes, but this time I write a rhyme I can't deny I lie awake at night and recite the diatribe I'm alive and inspired to write rhymes or die tryin'. The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air
