Lyrics 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 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 wanna 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 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
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
