[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
I don't mind what they say
I don't mind what they think
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real

[Verse 1: K-Ci]
I heard 'em say, I love you too much
I heard 'em say, we never fuss
I know you heard some things too
If that's what you heard, lady, it's true
But did they say I'll never leave
Or did they say I wanna be free
Don't let those fools take up your time
Just tell 'em like me, that I don't mind
I don't mind

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
I don't mind what they say
(I don't mind, I don't mind)
I don't mind what they think
(Baby, I don't care)
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real
I don't mind what they say
(I don't mind, I don't mind)
I don't mind what they think
(You know I love you, lady)
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real

[Verse 2: K-Ci]
I know you heard about my past
Said I'm sorry, the relationship didn't last
I was a fool, a big fool
But now I know what I need to do
Lift up my head and walk that mile
Think about me, forget about my pride
I wanna know what you wanna do
Is it gonna be them or me and you?

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
I don't mind what they say
I don't mind what they think
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real
I don't mind what they say
I don't mind what they think
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real
(Every time I see you, I just like a child with a brand new toy)

[Bridge: (K-Ci) & JoJo]
Baby, I don't mind, yes, I don't mind
I don't mind
Baby, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
And baby, I don't mind, I don't mind, don't mind
And baby, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
(You give me my energy)

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
I don't mind what they say
I don't mind what they think
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real
I don't mind what they say
I don't mind what they think
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real
I don't mind what they say
I don't mind what they think
I don't care how they feel
My love for you is so real

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
