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
