Matthew Sweet - They Don't Know

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 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

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 wanna be there too

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

And if they keep on talking, still they get nowhere

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

When I look at you and you hold my hand

They don't know about us

They'd 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 loving, gonna make it last

I tell the others not to 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

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

They don't know about us

And they've never heard of love
