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
Et tous mes amis doutent de lui
Tell me I should live without him
Tell me I should go on without him
Everybody's talkin' my baby down
Tout le monde dénigre mon bébé
He's not like the others
Nobody wants to see it they don't even wanna try
Personne ne veut le voir, ils ne veulent même pas essayer
Judge a book by it's cover
And you'll never know the story
Et tu ne sauras jamais l'histoire
There's so much more than meets the eye
Il y a tant plus que ce qui apparaît
Oh and I know his heart is true
Oh et je sais que son cœur est vrai
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 talking my baby down
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
(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
Baby, baby down
Down, baby down
Down
(Momma says he's bad for me)
(Poppa says I'll be sorry)
Tell me my baby down
No they can't feel, no they don't care
My baby down
'Cause it's understood
When the love is good
Nothin' else is gonna do
No they don't care, no need care
They don't even wanna try
There's so much more than meets the eye
