It Don't Matter Babe

you picked up on and then exploited my weakness
you purposely construed a plan to snare me
disinterestedly at first
but then your attitude reversed
and you came on to me in a way I took seriously

but
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe

you knew of my fragility and and you homed in
and were well aware of my emotional needs
you had to have another toy
you knew the method to employ
and you dangled a bait and enticed me to go where it leads

but
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe

you trounced on my sincerity
you pounced on my necessity
you made me think you really were for real

you took my open heart to town
and then with my defenses down
you told me how indifferent you feel

but when you shoved me on the shelf
you made me wonder to myself
what all those wily words you used to use meant
cos every one was insincere
a ploy for you to commandeer
a trifle and a trinket for amusement

it isn't that you really had good intentions
you knew what you were doing right from the start
you showed me how much my love means
you pounded it to smithereens
and you danced on the smashed stepping-stones that you made from my heart

but
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe
it don't matter babe, it don't matter babe
