Who Needs To Know
Michael Ball · Other Songs - Michael Ball
What I found out today
I don't have to tell a soul
It'll only get in the way...
No need to show my pride
Oh I can keep it all inside
Where it belongs
But who got it strong
And it can't be denied
Chorus:
Who needs to know except us
Who needs to make a fuss
(who needs to know)
Yeah, who needs to know
(who needs to know)
I said, who needs to know about us
Who'd guess I care
Ooh when I see you standing there
Baby, what's in a smile
Every once in a while
Honey, what's in a stare
Chorus
And if all my power were taken away
I've still got you babe
Still got today
But deep in my soul
I don't feel afraid
Between you and me babe
We got it made...
Chorus
