When my friends told me you had someone new

I didn't believe a single word was true

I showed them all I had a 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 what 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

And I'm so 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
