You know it doesn't Really matter That I always seem To forget Where I put my keys My hat, and my coat Searching for your sungla**es And you lost the remote Did you forget the heat? Cause I'm gettin' chills Are the lights really going out? Did we forget to pay the bills? Why? Does it really matter? Cause when the lights go out It only gets better When you hold me tight And tell me it's all right Then the rest doesn't really matter I guess it doesn't Really matter That we ain't been ridin' high And keeping up with the Jones Never been to Paris I don't care if we go, no We'll get around the world Right here at home Now the car won't start And the paint is peeling So the dishes are stackin' up They can wait, I've got that feelin'! Why? Does it really matter? We can dim the lights And put on Clyde McPhatter (1) Now baby, hold me tight Tell me it's all right Then the rest doesn't really matter Why? Does it really matter? Cause when the lights go out It only gets better Now baby, hold me tight And tell me it's all right Then the rest doesn't really . . Why? Does it really matter? Cause when the lights go out It only gets better Why? Does it really matter? Why? Does it really matter, baby? Why?
