You ain't no criminal

you are the victim here

they just don't understand us

maybe a year from now

people might come around but

our love is not their business, no

our love is not their business


watch them put on that righteous skin

pull out your skeletons

write your name on the bad list

well we can put up a fight

or we can live our lives

our love is not their business

our love is not their business


have i ever lied to you?

right now, what i speak is true

i saw them whispering

shaking their head like they know

but it ain't black and white

i wish they'd leave us alone

they've got nothing else to do

but look at our lives


how can i make you smile

how can i ease your mind

should i put on my red dress

ain't no small town to please

there's only you and me

and our love is not their business

our love is not their business
