You've been around for such a long time now;
Oh maybe I could leave you but I don't know how.
And why should I be lonely every night
When I can be with you? Oh yes, you make it right.
But I don't listen to the boys who say
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away.
'Cause they don't know 'bout 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 talkin', still dont get nowhere.
So I don't mind if they don't understand,
When I look at you when you hold my hand.
'Cause they don't know 'bout us;
They've never heard of love.
Why should it matter to us if they don't aprove?
We should just take our chances, what if we've got nothing to lose?
Baby!
There's no need for living in the past,
Now I found good loving, gonna make it last.
I tell the others, "Don't bother me,"
'Cause when I 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.
'Cause they don't know 'bout us;
They've never heard of love.
So, I don't listen to their wasted lines;
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs.
'Cause they don't know 'bout us;
They've never heard of love.
