[Intro: Akon & Melvin Riley]

It never really mattered too much to me, to me (Konvict)

It never really mattered too much to me, to me

It never really mattered too much to me, to me

[Verse 1: Akon & Melvin Riley]

It never really mattered too much

I had too many women, living life like a rockstar

It never really mattered too much

I shoulda slowed my roll, but instead, I went too far

It never really mattered too much

To mе, I thought I had it all

It never really mattеred too much

'Til you up and left me, then I realized I made the wrong call


[Pre-Chorus: Akon]

You keep on crying 'cause you just can't let me go

Had every right, baby, 'cause I was straight tripping

Cheating and lying, I'm turning 'round, blaming you

I need you back, am I worth you forgiving?

[Chorus: Akon & Melvin Riley]

It never really mattered too much

Girl, I'm pouring everything I got to show you that I'm sorry

It never really mattered too much

The truth is nothing really mattered 'til I lost my baby

[Post-Chorus: SIMIEN & Akon]

We kissed, we laughed (Yeah)

We fell too fast (Yeah)

How'd we get like that? (Don't know, yeah)

How'd we get like that? Oh (Don't know, baby)

We stood up too fast (Yeah)

We thought we'd last (Yeah)

How'd we get like that? (Don't know, yeah)

How'd we get like that? Oh (Don't know, baby)

[Verse 2: Akon & Melvin Riley]

It never really mattered too much

'Til my heart came out my chest, I knew, without you, I can't fix it

It never really mattered too much

Everything that I denied, girl, you was right, you know I did it

It never really mattered too much

To me long as it wasn't me hurting

It never really mattered too much

I know now you did not deserve

[Pre-Chorus: Akon & Melvin Riley]

To keep on crying 'cause you just can't let me go (It never really mattered too much)

Had every right, baby, 'cause I was straight tripping (To me)

Cheating and lying, I'm turning 'round, blaming you (It never really mattered too much)

I need you back, am I worth you forgiving?

[Chorus: Akon & Melvin Riley]

It never really mattered too much

Girl, I'm pouring everything I got to show you that I'm sorry

It never really mattered too much

The truth is nothing really mattered 'til I lost my baby

[Post-Chorus: SIMIEN & Akon]

We kissed, we laughed (Yeah)

We fell too fast (Yeah)

How'd we get like that? (Don't know, yeah)

How'd we get like that? Oh (Don't know, baby)

We stood up too fast (Yeah)

We thought we'd last (Yeah)

How'd we get like that? (Don't know, yeah)

How'd we get like that? Oh (Don't know, baby)


[Outro: Akon]

It doesn't really matter too much to me

You used to be so in love with me

I remember I just wanted you to be my girlfriend

Now you don't even say hello to me
