Down
Judge a book by its cover
Momma says, he's bad for me
He's only playin'
Baby baby down
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Nobody wants to see it
They don't even wanna try
But I know how he makes me feel
My baby down
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Poppa says, I'll be sorry
There's so much more than meets the eye
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
And you'll never know the story
My sisters and my brothers
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Poppa says, I'll be sorry
And all my friends doubt him
They don't know the truth
Tell me, how I should live without him
To tell me what to do
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
He's not like all the others
When the love is good
Da-da-down da-da-down
And I don't need any other proof
And all my friends doubt him
Nothin' else is gonna do
And all my friends doubt him
Poppa says I'll be sorry
Da-da-down da-da-down
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Foolin' with your heart girl
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
And all my friends doubt him
Poppa says I'll be sorry
My baby down
Momma says he's bad for me
Momma says he's bad for me
I don't care about their point of view
Tell me, how I should find another
Tell me, how I should live without him
Momma says he's bad for me
Tell me how I should live without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
I don't need anyone, oh
My baby, baby down
They don't know what it's like to be loved like this
'Cause it's understood
Oh! But they can't feel his touch
Momma says, he's bad for me
His kind of love is not for real
Poppa says I'll be sorry
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
They just don't understand
Momma says he's bad for me
Poppa says I'll be sorry
They can't feel his kiss
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Tell me I should live without him
And all my friends doubt him
Oh! And I know his heart is true
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Tell me, how I should live without him
