You say it cannot be
That you can't be with me
Because we differ in so many ways, and
Though I am just a boy
I know that you enjoy
The time we shared together and we still can
And if you try to run away
You know I'll follow
So just allow yourself to stay
Forget tomorrow
Let them say what they want to say, baby
Ignore the ones who say it's wrong to love me
Though younger I may be
Just let me set you free
I don't care what others think that love should be and
Let them see what they want to see darlin'
And if I'm kissin' you all night, so what then
They say it's scandalous
But baby, what's the fuss?
What matters most is not the world, what counts is us
You know my heart is pure
But you say you're not sure
That merely wanting doesn't make it right now
So tell me what to do
To show you what is true
I'll prove that they are wrong for that I'll fight now
And if you walk away tonight
You know I'll find you
Just remember this is right
Or I'll remind you
Let them say what they want to say, baby
The world does not control our lives, don't think so
Don't be afraid of me
That's not reality
Look inside my heart to find just what you need, and
Let them see what they want to see, darlin'
But if you're happy here with me, so what then
Each night and every day
In my arms you can stay
Cuz years are really just illusions anyway
Do you remember how my love took your breath away
And can you see the things you do to my heart
What does it matter if we don't hear what others say
And we'll forget their ridicule
Break the rules, so
Let them say what they want to say, baby
Ignore the ones who say it's wrong to love me
Though younger I may be
You know I'll set you free
I don't care what others think that love should be and
Let them see what they want to see darlin'
And if I'm kissin' you all night, so what then
They say it's scandalous
But baby, what's the fuss?
What matters most is not their words, what counts is
Let them say what they want to say, baby
The world does not control our lives, oh no no
Don't be afraid of me
That's not reality
Listen to your heart to find just what you need, and
Let them see what they want to see, darlin'
But if you're happy here with me, don't run then
Just do the things you must
Cuz my love you can trust
What matters most is not the world, what counts is us
