The Impressions
 (Curtis Mayfield)

 Chorus:
 [2,3: And] you must belie-ie-ieve me
 No matter what the people might say
 You must belie-ie-ieve me
 Darlin', it just didn't happen that way
 No, no, it just didn't happen that way

 Verse 1:
 You've come home with somethin' on your mind
 Darlin', tell me, why are you cryin'
 You say be serious, no time for fun
 While tryin' to tell me somethin' that I've done
 The things you heard couldn't be denied
 But before your opinion, listen to my side

 [repeat chorus]

 [repeat intro]

 (whoa, it's all right)
 (whoa, it's all right)

 Verse 2:

 Girl, you're wrong to believe what was said
 For you see nothing could ever be that bad
 Though the talk is now all over town
 Darling, you know I'd never put you down
 True, her and me were at the party as guests
 There's nothing else to say about whom I love best

 [repeat chorus]

 [repeat intro to fade]

 (whoa, it's all right)
