(gerry goffin / carole king)



When my friends told me

You had someone new

I didn't believe

A single word was true



I showed them all

I had a-faith in you

I just a-kept on saying

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 rumours spread

There's truth somewhere and i should use my head



But i didn't listen to what she said

I kept a-right on saying

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 me your ring

And i'm so glad that i kept on saying

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

Oh no! not my baby

Oh no! not my sweet baby

Oh no! not my baby

No, no, no not my sweet baby

Oh no! not my baby
