The song "Didn't Give A Damn (Interlude)" by Houston is a brief interlude that tells a story in a dialogue format. The lyrics depict a situation where a woman is in labor and a doctor is attending to her. The conversation includes dialogue between the doctor, nurse, and the woman in labor. In the beginning, someone asks if the doctor has been called, and it is confirmed that the doctor is on his way. They discuss taking the woman to the second floor and inquire about her blood pressure, which is revealed to be normal. The doctor then asks if the woman has a hypoderm, to which they respond that she does not. As the situation intensifies, the doctor instructs everyone to help the woman push because the baby's head is almost out. The woman pleads for help, and they encourage her to push. Eventually, the baby is born and it is revealed to be a boy named Houston. The lyrics also mention the absence of the baby's father, with someone stating that they shouldn't worry about him because he "didn't give a damn." This line implies that the father neglects his responsibilities or is not present in the child's life. Overall, the lyrics describe the intense and emotional moments during childbirth and touch upon the absence of the father figure in the child's life, highlighting a sense of abandonment or disregard.
