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 

(Chorus)
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 

(Chorus) 

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 

(Chorus)
