Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And 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

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

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (I don't know)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (yeah)

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 comin from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did (yeah)
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
As long as you love me
Who you are
As long as you love me
What you did (I don't care)
As long as you love me

    General Comment:just the first line that is what makes me like this song.
    and so what if the backstreet boys sang it?,if u like a song you like it wether its by papa roach or the beetles. geez .
    if justin beiber or 1d released it today it would be loved,if korn somehow covered it someone would find it amusing,music is about what speaks to your or relates to you or an experiance you had at the time,most people should be able to find that every song in the world could somehow relate to them in someway if they think about it... get over who sang it and listen to the words...
    its pretty straight forward if you love someone enough you accept them no matter what

    General Comment:Seems to me to be a pretty silly premise: excluding the "as long as you love me" clause, it's unconditionalized universal acceptance of someone as a partner.

    They could be the female version of Hitler, and the singer's still game! "What, you're responsible for the deaths of millions of people? That doesn't factor into my decision on whether or not I'd date you."

    Song Meaning:Deeply, deeply touching song. We live in a highly judgmental society where people judge you based on pretty much anything. Every little thing about ourselves are judged upon, every moment we live. It's partly why society & life in general can get so stressful.

    This song just shows true LOVE transcends all that. With true love we finally look at the person as who they really are... not as all those judgmental labels society attaches to them. What he means by "I don't care who you are / where you're from / what you did" is that, between lovers, those things... just don't matter anymore. They're just superficial things. It's because when you love someone, we love that person for who they REALLY are - that "inner person", so to speak, not those outside labels. And the more one falls in love, the more one discovers, that really, inside everyone, there is a beautiful fire burning.

    This song is a rare gem, a REAL love song in today's age of superficial, shopping-for-people style love.
