I Don't Mind - Timothy B. Schmit

How come you threaten that you just might go?

Why do you want to pick a fight?

What makes you tick, I swear I don’t know

I bet you can’t sleep at night

I never know who you’re gonna be today

I always take time to check it out

I only need to get a good look at your face

To see what it’s all about

Sometimes without warning

You strike with all your glory

But I’m able to take a step back

And look around, get on the right track, 'cause

I don’t mind

Go ahead and be that way

I don’t mind

I’m happy at the end of the day

Well, it’s too bad you live with such misery

'Cause everybody knows it loves company

But count me out… I’m doing just fine 'cause

I don’t mind

I haven’t had a dream for a long, long time

But last night took me by surprise

Out of the shadows you walked right up to me

Wiping the tears from your eyes

I didn’t know what to do so I asked you, «Why?»

You opened up your mouth to try to speak

But you changed your mind and you passed right by

Then I woke up from my troubled sleep

So heavy, the drama

Your self-inflicted trauma

I hope you get a little rest

Meanwhile, I wish you my best 'cause

I don’t mind

Everybody does what they like

I don’t mind

Nobody’s always right

When you make a big scene and you wanna shout

I will take anything that you’re giving out

I can jump through hoops, you can cross that line, still

I don’t mind

Everybody’s got a little edge that’s rough

Everybody needs to piss and moan

There’s not a single human that I can think of

Who doesn’t need some time alone

So, when I see you coming and it’s looking bad

When I feel you heating up the room

I’ll turn the other cheek and I’ll be so glad

To avoid the impending doom

I’m lucky… my plate’s full

Don’t mean to sound ungrateful

Any which way that wind blows

You’ll be my friend, 'cause you know

I don’t mind

Go ahead and be that way

I don’t mind

I’m happy at the end of the day

Well, it’s too bad you live with such misery

Everybody knows it loves company

But count me out… I’m doing just fine 'cause

I don’t mind

I don’t mind
