You Don't Have to Love Me

You gotta have coffee in the morning And red wine after work You gotta have thirty extra minutes And too much in your purse You always gotta have the fan on when you sleep A good time girl's night once a week Yeah, I get all that Oh, but what I can't get past Is you don't have to love me, you don't have to care You don't have to give a damn About this mess of a man that's standing here Knowing I ain't perfect and nowhere good as you You don't have to see the good in me and see this through You don't have to love me You don't have to love me But you do You gotta have thought about it, baby You can't tell me that you ain't You could have anyone, be anywhere You could've hopped on any plane Made a beeline straight for the Cali coast Traded small town life on a dusty road For the city life Well, sometimes I wonder why 'Cause you don't have to love me, you don't have to care You don't have to give a damn About this mess of a man that's standing here Knowing I ain't perfect and nowhere good as you You don't have to see the good in me and see this through You don't have to love me You don't have to love me But you do You don't have to love me like you love me, girl, it's true But I'm so glad you do 'Cause you don't have to love me, you don't have to care You don't have to give a damn About this mess of a man that's standing here Knowing I ain't perfect, nowhere as good as you You don't have to see the good in me and see this through You don't have to love me You don't have to love me But you do Aw baby, you do
