You come home

with somethin' on your mind

and darlin' tell me

why are you cryin'

you said be serious

no time for fun

well tryin' to tell me

something that I've done

things you've heard

couldn't be denied

before your opinion

listen to my side

You must believe me

no matter what the people might say

you must believe me

darlin' it just didn't happen that way

oh no it just didn't happen that way

Girl you're wrong

to believe what they say

for you see nothin'

could ever be that bad

talk is now

all over town

darlin' you know

I'll never put you down

for her and me

were at the party as guests

there's nothin' else to say

about this kind of mess

You must believe me

no matter what the people might say

you must believe me

darlin' it just didn't happen that way

oh no it just didn't happen that way
