I thought you were a friend of mine but I was wrong   You tried to fit into the arms where I belong   You moved right in behind my back   Everyone knows friends don't do that      I thought you were somebody I could trust   You always said you were happy for us   How could you go and break my heart?   When you knew all along he was mine from the start      He is everything to me and you know we're meant to be   He's my baby, don't mess with my love   Take everything I own, oh just leave that boy alone   He's my baby, don't mess with my, mess with my love   Don't mess with my love      You came right over and looked in my eyes   You said the stories were rumors and lies   I wish I could believe in you   But I'm sorry to say he told me the truth      He is everything to me and you know we're meant to be   He's my baby, don't mess with my love   Take everything I own, oh just leave that boy alone   He's my baby, don't mess with my, mess with my love   Don't mess with my love      Friends don't do what you do   There's no excuse I'm so confused   I thought you cared about me   But now I see all you care about is you      He is everything to me and you know we're meant to be   He's my baby, don't mess with my love   Take everything I own, oh just leave that boy alone   He's my baby, don't mess with my love      He is everything to me and you know we're meant to be   He's my baby, don't mess with my love   Take everything I own, oh just leave that boy alone   He's my baby, don't mess with my, mess with my love      He is everything to me and you know we're meant to be   He's my baby, don't mess with my love   Take everything I own, oh just leave that boy alone   He's my baby, don't mess with my, mess with my love   Don't mess with my love, don't mess with my love      Don't mess with my love   He is everything to me, yeah
