Linda Ronstadt - Oh No Not My Baby lyrics

rate me

written by Gerry Goffin, Carole King

copyright 1964 Screen Gems-EMI Music In (BMI)

When my friends told me you had someone new

I didn't believe a single word was true

I showed them all I had faith in you

I just kept on saying

Oh no not my baby

Oh no not my sweet baby

You're not like those other guys

Who lead you on and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumors spread

There's truth somewhere and I should use my head

But I didn't listen to a word she said

I kept right on saying

Oh no not my baby

Oh no not my sweet baby

You're not like those other boys

Who play with hearts like they were toys

Well you might have had a last minute fling

But I am sure it didn't mean a thing

Cause yesterday you gave me your ring

Now I'm glad that I kept on saying

Oh no not my baby

Oh no not my sweet baby

You're not like those other guys

Who lead you on and tell you lies

Oh no not my baby

Oh no not my sweet baby

Oh no not my baby

Oh no not my sweet baby
