They Don't Know About Us
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you've been around for such a long time now
and maybe 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
so i don't listen to the boys 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'll get nowhere
so i don't mind if they don't understand
when i look at you and you hold my hand
cuz they don't know about us, they've never heard of love
why should it matter to us if they don't approve
we should just take our chances
what if we've got nothing to lose
baby, there's no need for living in the past
cuz now i found good lovin, gonna make it last
i tell the others, don't bother me
cuz when i look at you, they don't see what i see
and 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
so i don't listened 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.
