Songtext :

The Backstreet Boys : As long as you love me

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I`m leaving my life in your hands.
People say I`m crazy and that I am blind
risking it all in a glance.
How you got me blind is still a mystery
I can`t get you out of my head.
Don`t care what is written in your history
as long as you`re here with me.

CHORUS

I don`t care who you are
where you`re from
What you did
as long as you love me
Who you are
where you`re from 
Don`t care what you did
as long as you love me.

Every little thing that you have said and done
feels like it`s deep within me.
Doesn`t really matter if you`re on the run
It seems like we`re meant to be.

CHORUS

Bridge

I`ve tried to hide it so that no one knows
but I guess it shows
when you look into my eyes.
What you did and where you`re coming from
I don`t care, as long as you love me, baby.
