Lyrics
Mmm, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I never thought on the first night
You would bare what you hold so dear to life
And share with me all your innermost fantasies, baby
And afterwards in my arms you cried
Had me feeling some kind of way on the inside
Then I knew it was gon' be me and you
(So if no one wants to believe that what we share was meant to be)
So if no one, the love we shared
(Then it would be just you and me against the world)
Then it, yeah
(And if our friends and family)
And if our friends
(Can't bear to see us both happy)
Happy, baby
(Then it will be just you and me against the world)
It'll be just you and me, girl, yeah
No, I'm not the kind that kiss and tell
But my man said that he really knows you well
But I don't care 'cause I wanna know you for my damn self
And even if my sister said you scandalous
Said you're known to go from one man to the next
But I don't care what she say
'Cause you're gonna forever be my lady
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(So if no one wants to believe that what we share was meant to be)
Hey, hey
(Then it would be just you and me against the world)
Then it's gonna be just you and me
And if our friends and
(And if our friends and family)
(Can't bear to see us both happy)
See us happy
(Then it will be just you and me against the world)
Then it'll be
(Do-do, do, do-do-do)
I wouldn't care if you was a prostitute
(Do-do-do, do-do)
And that you hit every man that you ever knew
(Do-do, dum-dum-dum)
You see it wouldn't make a difference if that was way before me and you
And you don't ever have to worry about me
(Do-do, do, do-do-do)
As long as you keep it real
Whatever's on your mind
(Do-do-do, do-do-do)
You speak on how you feel
(Do-do-do)
You stay truthful to me
Never lie to me
(Do-do, dum-dum-dum)
And don't ever keep no secrets
No matter whatever, whatever no
Girl, you know what I mean
They can say what they want (Yeah)
But it'll never change my views (Oh no)
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I know you (Oh no, no)
See I'm trying to share the rest of my whole life with you (Yeah)
And if we got to be alone, so be it, baby
And if they can't understand our love
Then we don't need them, baby
(So if no one wants to believe that what we share was meant to be)
No, don't need 'em, babe
(Then it would be just you and me against the world)
Oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
We can go against the whole world (Oh, yeah)
(And if our friends and family)
Even our friends turn on us
(Can't bear to see us both happy)
Even our family turn on us
(Then it will be just you and me against the world)
That's alright, as long as we got each other, babe
(So if no one wants to believe that what we share was meant to be)
That we can make it, babe
(Then it would be just you and me against the world)
Through whatever, whatever come with me
(And if our friends and family)
Baby, yeah
(Can't bear to see us both happy)
(Then it will be just you and me against the world)
(So if no one wants to believe that what we share was meant to be)
(Then it would be just you and me against the world)
You and me, babe
(And if our friends and family)
(Can't bear to see us both happy)
(Then it will be just you and me against the world)
