[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
CYou've been around for such a Flong time now;
Oh maybe DmI could leave you but I Gdon't know how.
CAnd why should I be lonely Fevery night
When I can Dmbe with you?  Oh yes, you Gmake it right.
And I Fdon't listen to the Gguys who say
That you're Cbad for me and I should Fturn you away.
[Chorus]
'Cause Cthey don't Fknow 'bout Emus;G  
FThey've never Bbheard of Clove.
[Verse 2]
CI get a feeling when I Flook at you,
Wherever Dmyou go now, I wanna Gbe there too.
CThey say we're crazy but I Fjust don't care,
And if thDmey keep on talkin', still they Gget nowhere.
So I Fdon't mind if they don't Gunderstand,
When I Clook at you when you Fhold my hand.
[Chorus]
'Cause Cthey don't Fknow 'bout Emus;G  
FThey've never Bbheard of Clove.
[Segue]
AmWhy should it Bbmatter to us if Fthey don't ap-Gprove?
AmWe should just Bbtake our chances while Fwe've got nothing to Glose...

[Verse 3]
CThere's no need for living Fin the past,
Now I Dmfound good loving, gonna Gmake it last.
CI tell the others, "Don't Fbother me,"
'Cause when they Dmlook at you, they don't see Gwhat I see.
No, I Fdon't listen to their Gwasted lines;
Got my Ceyes wide open and I Fsee the signs.

'Cause Cthey don't Fknow 'bout Emus;G  
FThey've never Bbheard of Clove.
