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 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) 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 My sisters and my brothers Tell me I should find another Everybody's talk' 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 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
