They Don't Know Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

(kirsty maccoll) 

You've been around for such a long time now 

Or 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 

And I don't listen to the guys who say 

That you're bad for me and I should turn you away 

Cause they don't know about us 

And they've never heard of love 

I get a feeling when I look at you 

Wherever you go now I want to be there too 

They say we're crazy but I just don't care 

And if they keep on talkin' still they get nowhere 

So I don't mind if they don't understand 

When I look at you and you hold my hand 

Cause 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 found good loving gonna make it last 

I tell the others don't bother me 

Cause 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 

But they don't know about us 

And 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 

But they don't know about us 

And they've never heard of love
