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]
