[Chorus:] I don't care what they think about me I don't care what they say I don't care what they think if you're leaving I'm gonna beg you to stay I don't care if they start to avoid me I don't care what they do I don't care about anything else But being with you being with you Honey don't go don't leave this scene Be out of the picture and off of the screen Don't let them say we told you so Don't tell me you love me and then let me go I heard the warning voice From friends and my relation They tell me all about your heart-break reputation [Chorus] People can change they always do Haven't they noticed the changes in you Or can it be that like love I am blindDo I want it so much 'til it's all in my mind One thing I know for sure Is really really real I never felt before the way you make me feel [Chorus]
