They Don't Know About Us
One Direction · Take Me Home [2012]
We're too young to know about forever
But I say they don't know what they talk talk talkin' about
Cause this love is only getting stronger
So I don't wanna wait any longer
I just wanna tell the world that you're mine girl
Ohh
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the I love you's
But I bet you if they only knew
They will just be jealous of us
They don't know about the up all night's
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don't know about
They don't know about us
Just one touch and I was a believer
Every kiss it gets a little sweeter
It's getting better
Keeps getting better all the time girl
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the I love you's
But I bet you if they only knew
They will just be jealous of us
They don't know about the up all night's
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don't know about
They don't know about us
They don't know how special you are
They don't know what you've done to my heart
They can say anything they want
Cause they don't know us
They don't know what we do best
That's between me and you our little secret
But I wanna tell em
I wanna tell the world that you're mine girl
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the I love you's
But I bet you if they only knew
They will just be jealous of us
They don't know about the up all night's
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don't know about
They don't know about us
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the I love you's
But I bet you if they only knew
They will just be jealous of us
They don't know about the up all night's
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby they don't know about
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
