I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
Don't let them tell you any different
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)
I owe it all to you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)
And as much as I messed up, always give me your best love
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)
Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)
They gon' talk about it, gon' talk about it
Gon' try to change your mind about it
Gon' tell you things you don't wanna hear, but we good (d-d-don't worry 'bout it)
So when they talk about, they talk about it
Just let 'em know we already got it
Just tell 'em that we gon' work at it, we good (d-d-don't worry 'bout it)
I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
(Don't listen to) how could they know?
(What people say) how could they know?
(They don't know about) how could they know?
('Bout you and me) how could they know?
At my best you love me
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)
Even or at my worst
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it)
And I know that it's different, feels like we're best friends
We connected (they don't know about us, they don't know about it)
What did I do to deserve you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, they don't know about us, they don't know about it
They gon' talk about it, gon' talk about it
Gon' try to change your mind about it
Gon' tell you things you don't wanna hear, but we good (d-d-don't worry 'bout it)
So when they talk about, they talk about it
Just let 'em know we already got it
Just tell 'em that we gon' work at it, we good (d-d-don't worry 'bout it)
I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
(Don't listen to) how could they know?
(What people say) how could they know?
(They don't know about) how could they know?
('Bout you and me) how could they know?
How could they know?
(They don't know about us, they don't know about it)
How could they know? (Damn)
How could they know?
(They don't know about us, they don't know about it)
How could they know?
I thank you for the autographs, and the cheers over the years
You stood by me, you didn't doubt me, I think you want some more
I do more than sing
I model now, actin' now, plus I got my own movie now
After all the awards that they gave me, you stood by me
You didn't play me, you didn't doubt me, I think you want some more
I truly believe that if it wasn't all for you
I don't know what I would do
I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so
I don't think they know, how could they know?
(Don't listen to) how could they know?
(What people say) how could they know?
(They don't know about) how could they know?
('Bout you and me) how could they know?
