Jodi Don't Care

Intro

Oh-oh, click-clack of her heels (ah)

She owns the corner of the room, she owns the air

Verse

Jodi's got a calendar like a courtroom gavel

Lunch at twelve, forgiveness on a travel

Red mug with a ledger-stain grin

Says "tighten up" while folding your thin

She slides a file across with a paper-slice smile

Thin as the margin, cold as her style

Phones on mute and the plants all lean

For a flick of her wrist, for a word unseen

Pre-chorus

We try to breathe, she files our names (names)

She crosses out kindness like it's flames (flames)

Clipboard queen, wearing blame like a crown

We learn to whisper so we don't come down

Chorus

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (oh)

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (yeah)

She counts the seconds, she trims the spare

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (uh-huh)

Verse

Emails sharp as paper knives, subject: "Needed"

Her calendar eats promises, spits out 'No, not needed'

She signs with a dot and a half-smile pause

Leaves you to find your own cause

Coffee cools in the corner she never his

Her laughter is a gavel, short and crisp

She moves through the open plan like a weather front

Saying "higher standards" with a little taunt

Pre-chorus

We stack our notes, we learn to bend (bend)

Her office door is where patience ends (ends)

She measures worth in late-night clicks

And rewrites your dreams in corporate bricks

Chorus

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (oh)

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (yeah)

She counts the seconds, she trims the spare

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (uh-huh)

Bridge

We hum under breath, we hum to survive

We pass around jokes just to feel alive (ha)

But when the lights go down and the elevators sigh

We remember the name that taught us to try (try)

Chorus

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (oh-oh)

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (alright)

She counts the seconds, she trims the spare

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (yeah)

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (oh-oh)

Jodi don't care, Jodi don't care (alright)

Outro

Uh-huh, oh — she don't care (she don't care)

She don't care, she don't care (fade)
