Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(I love him so) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, don't you know) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
[Verse 2]
He's good (He's good)
He's good to me (Good to me)
And that's all I care about
[Verse 3]
(Oh, no) Don't you tell me my baby's just a playboy
(It isn't true) Don't you tell me my baby's just a playboy
(That's a lie) I won't listen to a single word you say
(He's my guy) Don't you tell me my baby's just a playboy
[Verse 4]
He's true (He's true)
He's true to me (True to me)
So, girl, you better shut your mouth
[Verse 5]
(Everybody says he's lazy)
But not when he's kissing me
(Everybody says he's crazy)
Sure, he's crazy
Crazy about me, oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(I love him so) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, don't you know) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
[Verse 7]
He's good (He's good)
He's good to me (Good to me)
And that's all I care about
[Verse 8]
(Oh, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(I love him so) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, don't you know) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
[Verse 9]
He's true (He's true)
He's true to me (True to me)
So, girl, you better shut your mouth
[Verse 10]
(Oh, no, no, no, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, no, no, no, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, no, no, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
(Oh, no, no, no, no) Don't say nothing bad about my baby
