Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two
A one, two, three, four
[Verse 2]
I know you tried hard, hard to get a ring
There's a sadness anyways
Poor little one, they rule you like a king
Don't be afraid to depend on me
[Verse 3]
Nothin' matters (Doesn't matter)
No (It doesn't matter)
I'll say keep a little soul, and nothing really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh, oh, oh (It doesn't matter)
Honey, keep a little soul, and nothing's gonna matter anymore
[Verse 4]
Lately, I been thinking about getting out of town
Go off to party, go off to Crown
You're thinking open, you come with me
Don't be afraid to live what you believe
[Verse 5]
Nothin' matters (It doesn't matter)
No (It doesn't matter)
When you keep a little soul, and nothing really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh, oh, oh (It doesn't matter)
Honey, keep a little soul, and nothing's gonna matter anymore
[Verse 6]
Not all people get soul, honey
All people can dream
Don't be afraid to get up on your feet and
Oh, depend on me
Don't be afraid to live what you believe, yeah
Oh
[Verse 7]
Doesn't matter (It doesn't matter)
No (It doesn't matter)
When you keep a little soul, and nothing really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh, oh, oh (It doesn't matter)
I'll say yeah, yeah, yeah, nothing really matters, oh (It doesn't matter)
Oh, oh, oh (It doesn't matter)
Keep a little soul, and nothing really matters anymore (It doesn't matter)
(It doesn't matter) Honey, keep a little soul
Nothing really matters anymore
