Lyrics Oh No Not My Baby - Aretha Franklin

Sweet, sweet baby

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true (sweet, sweet baby)
Showed them all I had a faith in you
I kept on saying

Oh, no, not, not my baby (not my baby)
Oh, no, not my sweet baby (sweet baby)
He's not like those other guys
Who lead you on (lead you on) and tell you lies (tell you lies)

My mama told me when rumors spread (my mama told me)
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head (my mama told me)
But I didn't listen to what she said
I stood right there (stood right there), and I kept on saying

Oh, no, not, not my baby (sweet, sweet baby)
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
'Cause he's not like those other boys
Who play with hearts (play with hearts) like they were toys

We might have had a last minute fling (woo)
But I'm so sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday he gave me a ring
And now I'm so glad that I kept on saying

Oh, no, not, not my baby (sweet, sweet baby)
Oh, no, no, no, not my sweet baby (not my baby)
He's not like those other guys
Who lead you on (lead you on) and tell you lies (tell you lies)

No, oh, oh, not, not my baby (sweet, sweet baby)
Oh, no, not my sweet baby
Oh-oh-oh, not my baby
Oh-oh-oh, not, not my baby
