Song Lyrics

People are sayin'
That boy is gonna hurt you
His kind of love is not for real
He's only playin'
Fooling with your heart girl
But I know how he makes me feel
And I don't need any other proof
They just don't understand
They don't know the truth

Momma says he's bad for me
Papa says I'll be sorry
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
And all my friends doubt him
Tell me I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down

He's not like all the others
Nobody wants to see it
They don't even want to try
Judge a book by it's cover
And you'll never know the story
There's so much more than meets the eye
Oh and I know his heart is true
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to do

Momma says he's bad for me
Papa says I'll be sorry
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
And all my friends doubt him
Tell me I should live without him
My sisters and my brothers
Tell me I should find another
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
