First are the lyrics to the redone version released on the re-issued Some Girls:

Do You Think I Really Care?
(Jagger/Richards)

Yeah, here I come

Do you think that I really care
About a girl who's never there
Do you think that I ever care
About a girl who's never there

But I see you on the subway
I see you on the D train
Hey, see her in the afternoon
Just after the Giants game

I see her on the freeway
Long Island Expressway
Hey, give me a break, baby
Help me get out of this rain

Ah, do you think that I really care
About a girl who's never there
Do you think that the clothes she wears
Make me forget she ain't never there

I saw her on a runway
Saint Patrick's on a Sunday
I saw her eating pizzas
On 57th and Broadway

I see her on the highway
I see her on the SkyTrain
Yeah I need a Yellow Cab, hey
Help me get out of this rain, yeah

Whoa baby

I saw you in The Factory
Like it's some kind of allergy
I saw you in the back of Max’s Kansas City
Propping up the bar on Saturdays

Met you at the gallery
It ended up in anarchy
You was spray painting silk screens
And double dosed up with flattery

Do you think that I would ever care
For a girl who’s never there
Is it possible that the jewels she wears
Could change my mind if she dyed her hair

Do you think that the clothes she wears
Make me forget that you're never, never there
Do you think that I really care?
See her hanging out on 57th and Broadway

Hey, do you think I would ever care
For a girl, for a girl who’s never there

Wait a minute, I need a Yellow cab, let me get out of this rain
Hey, put your umbrella up your ass, baby, whooo!

Do you think I could ever ever care

Next, the original lyrics heard on old bootlegs

Do You Think I Really Care? (aka Yellow Cab)
(Jagger/Richards/Wood) 

Yeah.... Here I come...

Do you think that I really care
'Bout a girl, who's never there?
Do you think that I really care
'Bout a girl who's never there
But I see her on the subway
Saw her on the D-train
See her in the afternoon
After all the Giants' games
See her on the freeway
Saw her on the expressway
Gimme a break baby
Help me get outta this rain

Do you think that I really care
'Bout a girl who's almost never there
Do you think that the clothes she wears
Make me forget
Or turn my hair?
I saw her on a freeway
Saw her on a A-train
Saw her hangin' out
On 52nd and Broad
Saw her on a highway
Saw her on a skyway
Ahhhh, need a Yellow Cab, Ronnie
Let me get outta the rain

Yeah......g'head
Good job
Yeah!

I saw her on a highway
On a D-train
I saw her eatin' a pizza
On 75th and Broadway
Saw her on a subway
On a biplane
Ahh, I'm getting tired o' this shit
I need a Yellow Cab
Help me get outta this rain

Do you think I could ever care
'Bout a girl who's almost never there?
Do you think ......could ever care
'Bout a girl who cares about the...the clothes she wears?
Do you think I could ever care
'Bout a girl that even dyes her hair?

The song
Do you think
Whooo
Oh no
Whooo

Ohhh, do you think I would really care
'Bout a woman......who's never there?
Do you think I'd ever care
'Bout a woman....the clothes she wears?

'Bout a girl who's hardly ever there?
Whooo! Whooo!
Well, that's alright
Whooo
