I thought you were a friend of mine but I was wrong

You tried to fit into the arms where I belong

You moved right in behind my back

Everyone knows friends don't do that



I thought you were somebody I could trust

You always said you were happy for us

How could you go and break my heart?

When you knew all along he was mine from the start



He is everything to me

And you know we're meant to be

He's my baby

Don't mess with my love

Take everything I own

Ooh just leave that boy alone

He's my baby

Don't mess with my

Mess with my love

Don't mess with my love



You came right over and looked in my eyes

You said the stories were rumors and lies

And I wish I could believe in you

But I'm sorry to say he told me the truth



He is everything to me

And you know we're meant to be

He's my baby

Don't mess with my love

Take everything I own

Ooh just leave that boy alone

He's my baby

Don't mess with my

Mess with my love

Don't mess with my love



BRIDGE

Friends don't do what you do

There's no excuse

I'm so confused

I thought you cared about me

But now I see

All you care about is you



He is everything to me

And you know we're meant to be

He's my baby

Don't mess with my love

Take everything I own

Ooh just leave that boy alone

He's my baby

Don't mess with my

Mess with my love

Don't mess with my love
