People are sayin'
That boy is gonna hurt you
His kind of love is not for real

He's only playin'
Foolin' 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
Poppa 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 the others

Nobody wants to see it
They don't even wanna try
Judge a book by its 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


(Chorus)
My sisters and my brothers
Tell me I should find another

Everybody's talkin' my baby down

Oh but they can't feel his touch

They can't feel his kiss
They don't know what it's like to be loved like this
I don't care about their point of view

'Cause it's understood
When the love is good
Nothin' else is gonna do


(Chorus)


No they don't know what he's all about
Everybody's just wanna talk my baby down
No they can't see that his heart is gold

Everybody wanna treat my baby so cold, so cold

(Chorus)
