Jon B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The games I used to play
The girls that didn't last
I know what's on your mind
You think I'm doing wrong
Can I say what is real
You are the only one
When I'm not around
Are claiming me to be
You should know by now
That it's gonna take
A lot of trust from you
For us to make it through
You should know baby you're my angel
Nothing's gonna make you fall from heaven
Girl I just want to love you love you
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Girl lets talk about what your friends told you
That I'm a selfish man
Want my cake and eat it to
Maybe in my past but you changed me now
Now that I've learned to love
It's you that showed me how
Your love so real
I'd be a fool to play
Play around on you I want to stay with you
You should know by now
That it's gonna take
A lot of trust from you
For us to make it through
You should know baby you're my angel
Nothing's gonna make you fall from heaven
Girl I just want to love you love you
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
You're my angel
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me (I don't wanna hurt you baby)
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
They don't know about you and me
Put it out your mind 'cause it's jealousy
They don't know about this here
Don't listen to what people say
The song "They Don't Know" by Jon B talks about how the singer has changed for the better ever since he met the woman he's currently with. He acknowledges his past mistakes and the rumors that may be circulating about him but urges the woman not to pay attention to them because they are not true. He wants her to trust him and their relationship because they have something real that others don't understand. He tries to reassure her by claiming that she is the only one for him and that he wants to love her and be with her.
The lyrics show a sense of vulnerability and honesty from Jon B, as he opens up about his past and how he wants to move forward. He knows that people will always have their opinions and rumors will always persist, but he hopes that his partner will trust him enough to ignore them. The song also highlights the importance of communication in a relationship and the need to address concerns, rumors, and past mistakes to move forward with trust and love.

Jon B is the only white man that sang R&B that married a black woman and didn’t just suck from the black community. He gave so much love back to us ❤
