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


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


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
