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

You've come home with something on your mind 
Darling, tell me, why are you crying? 
You say, "Be serious," no time for fun 
While trying to tell me, something 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 
Darling it just didn't happen that way 
No, no it just didn't happen that way 

Whoa, it's alright 
Whoa, it's alright 

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 
Darling it just didn't happen that way 
No, no it just didn't happen that way 

Whoa, it's alright 
Whoa, it's alright 
Whoa, it's alright 
Whoa, it's alright
