[Verse 1]
What if you took too long, boy?
What if they don't love you anymore, boy?
What if all they ever found was a suicide note in a pop song?
Is that the way you want to go, boy?
[Chorus]
Well, it don't mean a thing if it ain't you
They don't care about it if it ain't you
[Verse 2]
What if this ain't all you got, son?
What if you were more than just another one?
But what if all they ever wanted out of you is just to get some?
Would you hit them with the truth?
Would you give them what they want, son?
[Chorus]
Well, it don't mean a thing if it ain't you
They don't care about it if it ain't you
[Bridge]
They talk about you
All of the noise
I want it all, baby
Everyone talking about anything
Don't make no sense
[Chorus]
Oh but baby, it don't mean a thing if it ain't you
They don't care about it if it ain't you
No, no, no, it don't mean a thing if it ain't you
They don't care about it if it ain't you
