Oh No Not My Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had faith in you
I just kept on saying

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I kept right on saying

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Well, you might have had a last minute fling
But I'm sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
And I'm so glad that I kept on saying
[Outro]
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby
No no no no no, my sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby
No no no, not my sweet, sweet baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
