Really Do Care

A song adaptation to the tune of The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride"

I think I'm gonna be sad.
I think it's today - yeah.
This girl was driving me mad
While talking today...
'Cause she's gonna cut her baby
She's gonna cut her baby, yeah,
She's gonna cut her babe...
and she don't care.

She said that speaking to me
Was bringing her down - yeah.
Her will just couldn't be free
Though my reasons were sound.
So, she's gonna cut her baby -
She's gonna cut her baby, yeah,
She's gonna cut her babe... and she don't care.

Before she takes her poor baby's rights
You'd think she'd research -
You'd think she'd do right by him...
But family, church, her friends and the like
They say, "Just do it! So what's a bit of skin?"

(guitar riff)

I think I'm gonna be sad.
I think it's today - yeah.
A boy lost a part of himself,
Got taken away... yeah.
'Cause she said that it was her baby
She said that it was her baby -
She said that he was her babe... and I shouldn't care.

But I really do care.
I really do care...
