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.

[G]You've been around for such a [Cadd9]long time now;
Oh maybe [Am]I could leave you but I [D]don't know how.
[G]And why should I be lonely [Cadd9]every night
When I can [Am]be with you?  Oh yes, you [D]make it right.

But I [Am]don't listen to the [D]boys who say
That you're [G]bad for me and I should [Cadd9]turn you away.

'Cause [G]they don't [Am]know 'bout [Bm]us;   [D]
[Am]They've never [F]heard of [G]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.

[Bm]Why should it [C]matter to us if [F]they don't a[Bm]prove?
[Bm]We should just t[C]ake our chances, what if we've got nothing to[D] 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.
