I know that you've been good to me And I know it's just a rumor spreading in this town And I know know know it's a thing I don't believe Cuz you know I'd never let you down baby This is love that you see on my face And it's impossible to erase Still it scares me when I hear what I hear You see, everybody's talking and they whisper in my ear But I know that you would never hurt me I know you got a real good heart Too bad they're talking for nothing Trying for nothing Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love (Honey don't you see?) I know about their jealousy And I know about the talk that's growing in this town And I know know know that they don't want to believe That I'm not just a run-around baby They say we will break up, just you wait They gamble on the time and the date it will end Not much longer, they swear You see everybody's talking, I hear rumors everywhere But I know that you would never hurt me I know you got a real good heart Too bad they're talking for nothing Trying for nothing Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love (Honey don't you see?) I don't believe what they think of you and me When they say that we're in trouble Cuz they don't know what they're talking about It's just too bad we've got what they've never had So they just stay busy talking "She don't love him, he don't love her!" But I know that you would never hurt me I know you got a real good heart Too bad they're talking for nothing Trying for nothing Cuz nothing's gonna stop our love (Honey don't you see?) I know that you would never hurt me I know you got a real big heart Too bad they're talking for nothing Trying for nothing Cuz nothing's gonna stop us
