Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
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, how I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down.

2. He's not like all 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, oh
To tell me what to do.

[Chorus:]
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
My sisters and my brothers
Tell me, how I should find another
Everybody's talkin' my baby down.

[Bridge:]
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:]
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, how I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down.

My baby down
My baby down
Da-da-down da-da-down
My baby, baby down
Baby baby down
Down
Da-da-down da-da-down.

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 how I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down.

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, how I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down.

Momma says he's bad for me
Poppa says I'll be sorry
Everybody's talkin' my baby down.
