Ricky Skaggs – I Don’t Care Lyrics

Now, I don’t care
if I’m not the first
love you’ve known,
Just so I’ll be the last.

No, I don’t care
if I’m not the first
one you’ve kissed,
Darling, I’ll never ask.

Yesterday’s gone,
Love me from now on.
Be true to me,
Forget about the past.

No, I don’t care
If I’m not the first
Love you’ve known,
Just so I’ll be the last.

Yesterday’s gone,
Love me from now on.
Be true to me,
Forget about the past.

No, I don’t care
If I’m not the first
Love you’ve known,
Just so I’ll be the last.
Darling, I’ll never ask…
