Baby's Got Another Lover

My baby's got another lover, It's something I don't understand
My baby's got another lover, and I just can't understand
She says she don't want this thing at all, this lover ain't no natural man
It's a chillin' kind of love, ain't got no soft and tender ways
It's a killin' kind of love, ain't got no soft and tender ways
It haunts her most every evening, and steals every one of her days
I'm afraid this love will kill her, God knows it's killin' me

Oh I fear this love will kill my baby, God knows it's killin' me
She says she wants to leave this thing behind but it just will not set her free
She says this love only has her mind and body, and that I still have all her heart
Says it's only got her mind and body, and I've still got her heart
But what good does that do, when this thing is tearing me apart
