The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

I know I should pity me
But I don’t because, you see
I have loved and I have learned
And as far as I’m concerned

Refrain
I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough I sleep well
‘Cept for a dream or two
But, then, I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep
So, I should care
I should let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn’t get me
Maybe I won’t find someone
As lovely as you
But, I should care and I do
