You must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way
No no, it just didn't happen that way

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

And you must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way
No no, it just didn't happen that way

Whoa, it's all right
Whoa, it's all right

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

And you must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way
No no, it just didn't happen that way

Whoa, it's all right
Whoa, it's all right
Whoa, it's all right
Whoa, it's all right
