People are sayin'<br />
That boy is gonna hurt you <br />
His kind of love is not for real<br />
He's only playin'<br />
Foolin' with your heart girl <br />
But i know how he makes me feel <br />
And i don't need any other proof <br />
They just don't understand <br />
They don't know the truth <br />
<br />
Momma says he's bad for me <br />
Poppa says I'll be sorry <br />
Everybody's talkin' my baby down <br />
And all my friends doubt him <br />
Tell me I should live without him <br />
Everybody's talkin' my baby down <br />
<br />
He's not like the others <br />
Nobody wants to see it <br />
They don't even wanna try <br />
<br />
Judge book by its cover <br />
And you'll never know the story <br />
There's so much more than meets the eye <br />
Oh and I know his heart is true <br />
I don't need anyone <br />
To tell me what to do <br />
<br />
(Chorus) <br />
Momma says he's bad for me <br />
Poppa says I'll be sorry <br />
Everybody's talkin' my baby down <br />
And all my friends doubt him <br />
Tell me I should live without him <br />
Everybody's talkin' my baby down <br />
<br />
My sisters and my brothers <br />
Tell me I should find another <br />
Everybody's talk' my baby down<br />
<br />
Oh but they can't feel his touch<br />
They can't feel his kiss <br />
They don't know what it's like to be loved like this <br />
I don't care about their point of view <br />
'Cause it's understood <br />
When the love is good <br />
Nothin' else is gonna do <br />
<br />
Momma says he's bad for me <br />
Poppa says I'll be sorry <br />
Everybody's talkin' my baby down <br />
And all my friends doubt him <br />
Tell me I should live without him <br />
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
