                            D#
and we don't care about the young folks
                  A#
talkin' 'bout the young style
                            D#
and we don't care about the old folks
                            A#
talkin' 'bout the old style too
                            D#
and we don't care about our own folks
                  A#
talkin' 'bout our own style
                     D#
all we care about is talking
                    A#
talking only me and you

Usually when things has gone this far
People tend to disappear
No one will surprise me unless you do

I can tell there's something going on
Hours seems to disappear
Everyone is leaving I'm still with you

It doesn't matter what we do
Where we are going too
We can stick around and see this night through

Chorus:
And we don't care about the young folks
Talking 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talking 'bout the old style too
And we don't care about their own faults
Talking 'bout our own style
All we care 'bout is talking
Talking only me and you

And we don't care about the young folks
Talking 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talking 'bout the old style too
And we don't care about their own faults
Talking 'bout our own style
All we care 'bout is talking
Talking only me and you

Talking only me and you
Talking only me and you
Talking only me and you
