The fastest man in my town told me I was slow The tallest girl in my school told me I was small I don’t care, I don’t care
The richest man in the world told me I was poor The cleverest girl in my school told me I’m a fool I don’t care what they say, I don’t care what they say
I don’t want to listen to what people say Let them think I’m a fool but I feel O.K. It’s my own life and I do what I want I don’t care what they say so let them shut up Let them shut up
The oldest man in the world told me I was young The beautiful girl of mine told me I was fine Yes, I care what they say, yes, I care what they say
I don’t want to listen to what people say Let them think I’m a fool but I feel O.K. It’s my own life and I do what I want I don’t care what they say so let them shut up Let them shut up
The friends of mine told me I was the best of their friends My mama told me she loved me heart and my hands Yes, I care what they say, yes, I care what they say
