Oh No, Not My Baby
Rod Stewart · Other Songs - Rod Stewart
I didn't believe a single word was true
I told them all I had faith in you.
I kept a-right on sayin'
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who play with the men's hearts like they were toys.
My mama told me, "Son when rumors spread
that there is truth somewhere,
and you should use your head."
But sure didn't listen to what she said,
don't you know I kept a-right on sayin'
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who lead you on and tell you lies
No, no, my baby
Tell me, baby
I don't believe what they say, no
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my sweet sweet baby,
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
No way, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
not my sweet sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh No, Not My Baby
Rod Stewart's "Oh No, Not My Baby" stands as a quintessential example of his late-career rock and roll revival, blending his signature raspy vocals with a driving, upbeat rhythm. Released during a period where Stewart reinvigorated his classic rock sound, the track captures the playful frustration of a lover who has been left waiting. The song exemplifies Stewart's ability to mix personal storytelling with broad, anthemic appeal, characteristic of his work in the 1990s and beyond. It serves as a testament to his enduring status as a rock icon who successfully bridged the gap between his legendary 1970s hits and modern audiences, maintaining the raw energy and charm that defined his earlier career while delivering a fresh, relatable narrative.
