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" From: Collins Crapo
