Oh No Not My Baby lyrics

OH NO, NOT MY BABY
Manfred Mann

`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
