They say it's foolish to love you, my dear
I don't have the right to fall into you
I am sure this time, in my heart it is clear
And all I know is to love, I really do
We have differences, there's a gap between us
I don't have the right to fall into you
I know they would say, it wouldn't last
And all they see is trouble in this connection
We have differences, there's a gap between us
I know what they see is our imperfection
Though they criticize how I feel for you
And all they see is trouble in this connection
Please don't hear what they say, please don't go
No matter what happens, I am still the one
Though they criticize how I feel for you
I just want to love you the best that I can
They say it's foolish to love you, my dear
No matter what happens, I am still the one
I am sure this time, in my heart it is clear.
