They tried to tell me some things

But I know there's always two sides to a story



I don't give a damn about what others say

They just can't see you gettin' close to me

I don't give a damn about what happened before me

There's always two sides to a story



I don't give a damn about what others say

They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, 

no)

I don't really care about what happened before me

There's always two sides to a story (First verse)



I don't understand why it's happening

And I'm tryin' to ignore the things I hear

People saying things all up in my ear

And I'm wondering is it the truth I fear



You don't need to explain, 'cause baby, I don't care

Whatever happened then was then, then was then

All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me

Whatever was then is gone, we can't change it now



I don't give a damn about what others say (Oh)

They just can't see you gettin' close to me (Close to 

me, yeah)

I don't give a damn about what happened before me

There's always two sides to a story (There's always two 

sides to a 

story, mmm, hmm)



I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm, no)

They just don't want you gettin' close to me (They 

don't want you 

gettin' close to me, no)

I don't really care about what happened before me

There's always two sides to a story (Mmm, hmm)



Met some others girls and they started tellin' me

How you used to carry on back then with them

And they tried to tell me things like you ain't changed 

one bit

But they ain't there to see the things I see



You don't need to explain, I just want you to know

It starts from now and not back then, then was then

All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me

Whatever was did, it's gone, it's history



I don't give a damn about what others say (I don't give 

a damn)

They just can't see you gettin' close to me (See you 

gettin' close)

I don't give a damn about what happened before me

There's always two sides to a story (There's always two 

sides to a 

story)



I don't give a damn about what others say (Yes, it is)

They just don't want you gettin' close to me (Want you 

gettin' close)

I don't really care about what happened before me 

(Baby, can you tell me 

one thing)

There's always two sides to a story (Can we go)



On and on and on and on and on and on and on

Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on

Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on

Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on



I don't give a damn about what others say (No)

They just can't see you gettin' close to me

(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

I don't give a damn about what happened before me (Mmm, 

hmm)

There's always two sides to a story (There's always two 

sides)



I don't give a damn about what others say (There's 

always two sides)

They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, 

no, no, no)

I don't really care about what happened before me (I 

don't give a damn)

There's always two sides to a story ('Cause there's 

always two sides to 

a story, baby)



I don't give a damn about what others say

(Oh...they don't want you getting close to me)

I don't give a damn about what happened before me

(No, I don't give a damn what happened before me)



I don't give a damn about what others say

(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

I don't really care about what happened before me (I 

don't give a damn, 

no, no, no)

There's always two sides to a story (All I know is that 

I love you, 

darlin')



I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm)

They just can't see you gettin' close to me (All I know 

is that I need 

you)

I don't give a damn about what happened before me

There's always two sides to a story (Oh, I don't care
