You've been around for such a long time now 
Oh baby, I could leave you but I don't know how 
And why should I be lonely every night 
When I could be with you oh yes you, make it right 
And I don't 
Listen to the guys who say 
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away 

Cuz they don't know about us, 
They've never heard of love 

I get a feeling when I look at you 
Wherever you go now I wanna be there too 
They say we're crazy, but I just don't care 
And if they keep on talking still they get no where 

So I don't 
Mind if they don't understand 
When I look at you when you hold my hand 

Cuz they don't know about us, 
and they've never heard of love 
Why should it matter to us if they don't approve 
We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose 

Baby 
There's no need for living in the past 
Now i've found good lovin' gonna make it last 
I tell the others don't bother me 
cuz when they look at you they don't see what i see 

No I don't 
listen to their wasted lines 
got my eyes wide open and i see the signs 
Cuz they don't know about us 
They've never heard of love 
No I don't 
listen to their wasted lines 
got my eyes wide open and I see the signs 

Cuz they don't know about us 
They've never heard of love
