Lyrics:

They Don’t Know was originally sung by Kirsty MacColl in 1979.
Tracey Ullman’s version peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. It also peaked at #11 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart.
You've been around for such a long time now
Oh, maybe I could leave you, but I don't know how
And why should I be lonely every night
When I can be with you
Oh, yes, you make it right

And I don't listen to the guys who say
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away
Cause they don't know 'bout us
And they've never heard of love

I get a feeling when I look at you
Wherever you go now, I wanna be there too
They say we're crazy but I just don't care
And if they keep on talking still they get nowhere

So I don't mind if they don't understand
When I look at you, when you hold my hand
Cause they don't know 'bout us
And they've never heard of love

Why should it matter to us if they don't approve
We should just take our chances
While we've got nothing to lose



Baby!
There's no need for living in the past
Now I've found good loving, gonna make it last
I tell the others 'don't bother me'
Cause when they look at you
They don't see what I see

No, I don't listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
Cause they don't know 'bout us
And they've never heard of love
No, I don't listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
Cause they don't know 'bout us
And they've never heard of love
No, I don't listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
Cause they don't know 'bout us
And they've never heard of love
