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
