I ran into some girls who knew you today
  They tried to tell me some things
  But I know there's always two sides to a story
    I don't give a damn about what others say
  They just can't see you gettin' close to me
  I don't give a damn about what happened before me
  There's always two sides to a story
    I don't give a damn about what others say
  They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, no)
  I don't really care about what happened before me
  There's always two sides to a story (First verse)
    I don't understand why it's happening
  And I'm tryin' to ignore the things I hear
  People saying things all up in my ear
  And I'm wondering is it the truth I fear
    You don't need to explain, 'cause baby, I don't care
  Whatever happened then was then, then was then
  All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
  Whatever was then is gone, we can't change it now
    I don't give a damn about what others say (Oh)
  They just can't see you gettin' close to me (Close to me, yeah)
  I don't give a damn about what happened before me
  There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides to a
  story, mmm, hmm)
    I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm, no)
  They just don't want you gettin' close to me (They don't want you
  gettin' close to me, no)
  I don't really care about what happened before me
  There's always two sides to a story (Mmm, hmm)
    Met some others girls and they started tellin' me
  How you used to carry on back then with them
  And they tried to tell me things like you ain't changed one bit
  But they ain't there to see the things I see
    You don't need to explain, I just want you to know
  It starts from now and not back then, then was then
  All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
  Whatever was did, it's gone, it's history
    I don't give a damn about what others say (I don't give a damn)
  They just can't see you gettin' close to me (See you gettin' close)
  I don't give a damn about what happened before me
  There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides to a
  story)
    I don't give a damn about what others say (Yes, it is)
  They just don't want you gettin' close to me (Want you gettin' close)
  I don't really care about what happened before me (Baby, can you tell me
  one thing)
  There's always two sides to a story (Can we go)
    On and on and on and on and on and on and on
  Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
  Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
  Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
    I don't give a damn about what others say (No)
  They just can't see you gettin' close to me
  (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
  I don't give a damn about what happened before me (Mmm, hmm)
  There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides)
    I don't give a damn about what others say (There's always two sides)
  They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, no, no, no)
  I don't really care about what happened before me (I don't give a damn)
  There's always two sides to a story ('Cause there's always two sides to
  a story, baby)
    I don't give a damn about what others say
  (Oh...they don't want you getting close to me)
  I don't give a damn about what happened before me
  (No, I don't give a damn what happened before me)
    I don't give a damn about what others say
  (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
  I don't really care about what happened before me (I don't give a damn,
  no, no, no)
  There's always two sides to a story (All I know is that I love you,
  darlin')
    I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm)

  you)

  happened before me, baby)
    I don't give a damn about what others say
  (They're just jealous of you and they want your place)
  I don't really care about what happened before me (No, no)
  There's always two sides to a story (No, no)
