Baby, then I'll see better
I lost the only girl I ever loved
And now I've got to forget her
You see, I found out
Oh, baby, I found out
You can't,
you can't trust your neighbor
With your baby
You see, so -called friend of mine
that lived next door,
but this so -called friend,
he don't live there no more.
My baby used to go over
to borrow a little salt
But I found out he was
giving her lots of sugar
And trusting him with my baby
Oh, the sneaky dog, you know he took her
I believe and treat my neighbors
as they treat you
But this neighbor was a bachelor
He didn't have a woman
for me to talk to
That's why you can't,
you can't trust your neighbor
With your baby, oh no
Oh, how I love to yell
In my heart, I still do
But when your neighbor
get through with her
Oh, he don't
need too much from you
I tell you, I found out, I found out,
oh, you can't,
you can't trust your neighbor
with your baby, oh, no
You see, that was a very
good friend of mine,
at least I thought he was,
that used to live next door to me
But I'm here to tell you all right now
He don't live there no more
In fact,
he don't live in your place anymore
I came home early one evening
And here's what I found
I found him holding my baby
She said she went home
to borrow a little salt
Oh, but he was giving her lots of sugar
And I found out I couldn't
trust him with her
To tell you the truth is vice versa
I couldn't trust her with him either
So he don't live next door no more,
no
And she don't live with me no more
You can't, you can't trust your neighbor
I found out that I couldn't trust
them together
I got me a new baby, an d I got me a
You
