He told her he was leaving, she said well that's ok
He said with some deflation is that all you've got to say
It's been ten years since first we met and you don't seem to care
That now our time has ended you don't shed a single tear
She said
It really doesn't matter, doesn't matter all
Life goes on, I'll carry on I'll stumble, but I won't fall
Don't get me wrong, I love you as much as any woman can
But I won't be a slave to a heartache not for you or any man
She told him that his job was gone, he said well that's ok
She said with some relief, is that all you've got to say
I'm sure you know at your time of life that work is hard to find
He said I know but if it's time to go I'll look ahead and not behind
He said
It really doesn't matter, doesn't matter all
Life goes on, I'll carry on I'll stumble but I won't fall
Don't get me wrong I love this work and feel a heavy sense of loss
But I won't be a slave to the dice that are played
Not by you or any boss
And I say
It really doesn't matter, doesn't matter all
Life goes on, we carry on
We stumble but don't have to fall
Don't get me wrong, I know it's hard
When all we have is built on sand
But don't be a slave to the paths that are laid
Just do the best you can
No don't be a slave to the paths that are laid
Just do the best you can
