Lyrics

[Intro]

I don't think they know the truth

A-A to the L-I-Y-A-H

Say it ain't so

I don't think they know, how could they know?

I don't think they know the truth

It's Breezy

Say it ain't so

I don't think they know, how could they know?

[Verse 1]

Don't let 'em 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

[PreChorus]

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-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

[Chorus]

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?

[Refrain]

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?

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

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-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

[Chorus]

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

I don't think they know the truth, say it ain't so (Say it ain't so)

I don't think they know, how could they know?

I don't think they

[Refrain]

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?

[Bridge]

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?

[Verse 3]

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, ooh-whoa

[Chorus]

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

They don't know, they don't know

I don't think they know, how could they know?

[Refrain]

Don't listen to

How could they know?

What people say

How could they know?

They don't know about

They don't know about us, babe

How could they know?

'Bout you and me

How could they know?
