[Chorus]
People keep telling me (Wrong)
How you do me wrong (I know the wrong)
People keep telling me (I've been loving you)
You won't last too long (Girl, I know the wrong)

[Verse 1]
We have an understanding that's really out of sight
You see me when you want to, but to me, that's all right
And when I need a loving hand, baby (I know you'll be there, I know you'll be there)
And when I need someone to understand, baby (I know you'll be there, I know you'll be there)

[Pre-Chorus]
So I don't care what my friends may say
I'm gonna love ya, come what may
I need you here to chase my blues away

[Chorus]
People keep telling me (The wrong, the wrong)
How you do me wrong (Woman, it's you that I love and I know the wrong)
People keep telling me (I don't want nobody else)
It won't last too long (I know the wrong)

[Verse 2]
Our love is so mellow (So mellow), it flows like the rain
So let them talk if they want to, to me, they have nothing to gain
And when I need a loving hand, baby (I know you'll be there, I know you'd be there)
And when I need someone to understand, honey (I know you'll be there, I know you'd be there)
[Pre-Chorus]
So I don't care what my neighbors say
I'm gonna love ya, come what may
I need you here to chase my blues away, 'way, well

[Chorus]
People keep telling me (The wrong, wrong)
How you do me wrong (Woman, woman, woman, I know the wrong)
People keep telling me (And I don't believe, I don't believe)
It won't last too long (I just don't believe, I say woman, and I know)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
People keep telling me (Even though you see me when you want to)
How you do me wrong (I can put up with it, baby)
People keep telling me (Even though you don't stay long)
It won't last too long (I feel I'm there with you, baby)

[Outro]
People keep telling me (They just don't understand how I feel, baby)
People keep telling me (Nah, nah, nah, nah)
People keep telling me (Don't understand that our love's real)
People keep telling me (And everybody in town, everybody in town)
People keep telling me (They know, they know, gotta tell ya they know)
People keep telling me (They gotta know, they gotta know)
People keep telling me (That it's real, baby, real lovin')
People keep telling me (It's real with you, baby)
People keep telling me
People keep telling me
People keep telling me
