Why Should I Care

Toni Braxton

---

Back in the day
When I was younger
I wasn't afraid
Of giving my heart to you
Now and again
I get sentimental
But I know its just a phase I'm going through
And every time I start to slip
I just remind myself
I need only think of it
I went through so much hell
You say you wanna get things back
The way they used to be
Can you give me one good reason
Why I should, darlin'

You told me everything would be fine
Why am I losing my mind
How come I feel like a fool
Why do I keep losing you
Why do I love in despair
When you're not there

[Chorus]
Why should I care 
Why should I care for you
Why should I care 
Why should I care for you
Why should I care 
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care

Back in the day
I shoulda been wiser
But what can I say
I shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid
that you'd break my heart in two
Fate would have it that you broke it anyway, baby
And every time I close my eyes
I just remind myself
You told about a million lies
You put my heart through hell
And now you wanna get with me 
Just for all times sake
Well I'm not about to make the same mistake

[Chorus]

You see a girl that you gave all your love
I see a girl that you took advantage of
You see a girl that you cannot forget
I see a man that I cannot forgive
Tell me why

[Chorus]

Back in the day when I was young
I wasn't afraid to love
Back in the day
You were the one, what was I thinking of
Back in the day
Shoulda been wiser
But I was afraid I made a mistake
No one knows
