[Verse 1: Kevon Edmonds]
People run around talking trash about
Tryna put you down, but they don't know that I'm crazy
‘Bout you
They say that you're the type of girl that gets around
Couple drinks and baby, you’ll put out
Well maybe, maybe that's true
Well, I don't hear what they be saying in them streets
The only thing that matters to me

[Chorus]
Long as you let me know (Long as I know)
I don't care what they know (Care what they know)
Long as we talk about it (About it), be about it
I know that we can work around it
Nothing gonna come between us
If you just let me know

Oh oh oh ooh
Oh, baby baby baby
Listen girl

[Verse 2]
Baby, let them talk about it
The way you used to hang around and the crazy
Oh, you used to do
But they can try to dig up all the dirt they want
But baby I don't give a damn
Because baby I know that ain't you
But I don't hear what they be saying in them streets
The only thing that matters to me

[Chorus]
Long as you let me know (Long as I know)
I don't care what they know (Care what they know)
Long as we talk about it, be about it
I know that we can work around it
Nothing gonna come between us
If you just let me know

[Bridge]
Long as we got love between us
I don't care what they say about us
Talk about it, be about it, work around it
We can always work our way around it
'Cause all that really matters is our love

[Chorus]
Long as you let me know (Long as I know)
I don't care what they know (Care what they know)
Long as we talk about it, be about it
I know that we can work around it
Nothing gonna come between us
If you just let…

Long as you let me know (Long as I know)
I don't care what they know (Care what they know)
Long as we talk about it, be about it
I know that we can work around it
Nothing gonna come between us
If you just let me know

Let me know

After 7

After 7 is a group originating from Indianapolis, Indiana, and consists of brothers Melvin Edmonds and Kevon Edmonds along with their friend Keith Mitchell. The group came together in 1987 after Melvin and Kevon’s brother, superstar singer/songwriter/producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds brought them out to Los Angeles as he was starting to move up in the music business. Babyface, along with his partner L.A. Reid, wrote and produced 7 out of 9 songs on After 7’s platinum self-titled debut album released in 1989. L.A. & ‘Face produced the album’s three singles — the Top 20 pop hit “Heat of the Moment” as well as the #1 R&B hits “Ready or Not” and “Can’t Stop,” which were both Top 10 pop hits. They followed this album with another popular song, their 1991 Top 10 R&B single “Nights Like This” from the movie The Five Heartbeats.

L.A. & Face weren’t as involved in their next two albums — 1992’s Takin' My Time and 1995’s Reflections — but these albums still went Gold thanks to their respective Top 5 R&B hit singles “Baby, I’m For Real/Natural High” and “‘Til You Do Me Right.”

The group disbanded in 1997 after issues with their label Virgin Records and Kevon Edmonds went on to release his solo album 24/7 in 1999. As discussions to reconvene took place, Melvin Edmonds decided not to tour with the group, so his son Jason Edmonds took his spot. The four of them came together to create their 2016 album Timeless, which featured production from Babyface and his longtime musical partner Daryl Simmons.
