Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you must believe me
No matter what the people might say, you must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way, oh no
It just didn't happen that way

You've come home (with something on your mind)
Oh darling tell me (why are you crying)
You say you'll be serious (and not have fun)
While trying to tell me (something I have done)
The things you have heard (couldn't be denied)
But before your opinion (listen to my side)

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

Oh it's all right, oh it's all right, oh it's all right, oh it's all right

Girl you're wrong to (believe what they say)
Before you said nothing, (it'll never be that way)
They're talking now (all over town)
But darling you know (i'll never put you down)
Her and me were (to the party again)
There's nothing else to say (about whom I love best)
You must believe me
No matter what the people might say, you must believe me
Darlin', it just didn't happen that way, oh no
It just didn't happen that way

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You must believe me
It just didn't happen that way, oh no
It just didn't happen that way
