 When my friends told me you had someone new 

 I didn't believe a single word was true 

 I told them all I had-a faith in you 

 I-I-I-I just kept on sayin' 

  

 Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby 

 You're not like those other guys 

 Who lead you on and tell you lies 

  

 My mama told me when rumors spread 

 There's truth somewhere and I should use my head 

 But I didn't listen to a-what she said 

 I-I-I-I kept right on sayin' 

  

 Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby 

 You're not like those other boys 

 Who play with hearts like they were toys 

  

 Well, you might have had a last-minute fling 

 But I am sure it didn't mean a thing 

 'cause yesterday you gave-a me your ring 

 And now I'm glad that I kept on sayin' 

  

 Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby 

 You're not like those other guys 

 Who lead you on and tell you lies 

  

 Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby 

 Oh no, not my baby; no, no, no, no, not my sweet baby 

 Oh no
