I'm Not Supposed To Care

Gordon Lightfoot

I think you have somebody waiting outside in the rain

to take you away

You got places to go, you got people to see

still I'm gonna miss you

but anyway

I wish you good spaces in the far away places you go

If it rains or it snows may you be safe and warm

and never grow old

And if you need someone who loves you

you know I will always be there

I'll do it although

I'm not supposed to care

I'll give you the keys to my flying machine if you'd like

I will show you the light

and when you call

I'm gonna come to you

And when you find someone who loves you

I'll know you would treat me the same

Just lie there

you're not supposed to care

I think you have somebody waiting outside in the rain

to take you away

That's some kind of a game

still I'm glad it came down to the final round

but anyway

If you think you need someone who needs you

you know I will always be there

I'll do it although

I'm not supposed to care
