"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Not my girl"
When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I told them all I had faith in you
I just kept on sayin':
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
She don't go with other guys
& I don't think she would tell me lies"
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere & I should use my head
But I didn't listen to a word she said
I kept right on sayin':
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
She's not like these other girls, you see
& I believe she's in love with me
Oh no no no no no, not my girl"
Well, you might have had a last-minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you accepted my ring
& now I'm glad that I just kept on sayin':
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby
Not my girl, not my girl"
