Tryna be perfect, yeah
Perfect in your eyes
I know it ain't worth it, nah

All of these eyes on me, eyes on me
Is it for love or despising me?
Perfect, yeah, that's not real life

People gon' talk, ain't nothin' new
Whatever they say, whatever they do
Whatever, it don't mean it's true

All of this stressing be messin' wit' me
Why do I care?
Why do I, do I—

Tryna be okay, yeah

I ain't tryna showcase, nah
Something I'm not
And all of these eyes on me, eyes on me
They never see what's inside
But that's okay, uh, taught me so much

Whatever I say, whatever I do
People gon' talk, ain't nothing new
Whatever they say, whatever they do
Whatever it don't mean it's true

Why do I care?
Why do I, do I care?

Why do I, do I care?
Why am I checking if you checkin' on me?
All of this stressing be messin' wit' me
Why do I care?
Why do I, do I—

I should care less what you think about me
Care less, you ain't losing no sleep
I should care less what you think about me
Why do I, do I—

Whatever I say, whatever I do
People gon' talk, ain't nothing new
Whatever they say, whatever they do
Whatever it don't mean it's true

Why do I care?
Why do I, do I care?
Why do I care?
Why do I, do I care?
Why am I checking if you checkin' on me?
All of this stressing be messin' wit' me
Why do I care?
Why do I, do I care?
