[English]
Baby, baby, they say we ain't gonna make it
But I know, they don't give an eff about us
Way they hating, that's clear they just can't take it
But God knows, they don't know a thing about love
If we're gonna make it through whatever, don't let them hate
'Cause our love was meant to be forever, no matter what they say
Oh, the one thing I know for sure is
I know that they don't give an eff about us
So why should we care at all
When God knows they don't know a thing about love, love, love, about love
They just don't understand me, the way I understand you
(I know that they don't give an eff about us)
I so wish they could see the way I am when I'm around you
(God knows, that they don't know a thing about love)
That I would sacrifice it all for you, know you'd do the same things too
Oh I do, why do they try to break our hearts in two?
Don't the know how much I love you?
And I do
But one thing I know for sure is
I know that they don't give an eff about us
So why should we care at all
When God knows they don't know a thing about love, love, love, love, love
Well it really shouldn't matter what they say about us
But if I'm going to be honest sometimes it just does
'Cause I'm really in love
And it really shouldn't matter but we get caught up
And I'm gonna be honest, hey
Sometimes we just want the ones we love to love the ones that we love
But they don't give an eff about love
But one thing I know for sure is
I know that they don't give an eff about us
So why should we care at all
When God knows that they don't know a thing about love love, love, love, love
Woah
They don't care
I know that they don't give an eff about us
So why should we care, why should we care
God knows they don't know a thing about love
They don't know, hey
God know that they don't give an eff about us
So why should we care at all when
God knows they don't know a thing about love, about love
I know that they don't give an eff about you, about me
So, God knows they don't know a thing about love
