LYRICS:

My baby says she loves me, and I believe she might 

She lets me buy her diamonds, but she comes home late at night

She likes to have her privacy, so I am left to guess,

She says she loves me irregardless

Irregardless, she loves me irregardless

Irregardless, she loves me irregardless

My girl is kinda funny; she’s always making jokes

She doesn’t do my laundry, but lets me light her smokes

She always leaves me wanting for a little tenderness,

But she loves me irregardless

Irregardless, she loves me irregardless

Irregardless, she loves me irregardless

So I Google searched that word on the interweb

It doesn’t mean without condition; it sort of means the opposite instead

And I came to an understanding, you know it cut me to my soul

Her love is regardful

Regardful, her love is so regardful

Regardful, her love for me is regardful

I asked a friend to parse this enigmatic adjective

It doesn’t mean without restriction because it’s like a double negative

And I came to an understanding that wounded my heart so

She loves me con proviso

I gotta get a new direction and make a better plan

I need to find myself a woman who will take me as I am

Heedless of, in spite of all, or irregardlessful

All these words confuse me, and I’m sure that I don’t know

If it’s the converse or the inverse, of the contrapositive

Just love me irrespective

Don’t be too selective, baby, love me irrespective, woah-oh

Your love is exquisite, love me, love me without prerequisite

Why you so demanding, can’t you love me notwithstanding, woah-oh

Love me, irrespective, darling, love me irrespective

Love me, irregardless
