Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down Songtext / Lyric

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 all 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



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 love

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



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



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 baby down

My baby down

Dadadi dadada dadadi

Babydi baby down

Down...

My baby down

They don't care

No, they don't care

My baby down

'Cause it's understood,...

No they don't care

No they don't care

They don't even wanna try

There so much more than meets the eye
