Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know

I call her on the telephone
But she's never where she's supposed to be
Lately when we're all alone
Well it seems she don't want any part of me
Don't you know I'm gonna lose my mind
If there's someone else after all this time

(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know

(Well somethin' tells me)
Maybe my baby's got a new guy
And he's really puttin' on a show
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know

I can't believe it's come to this
But my heart keeps tellin' me there's somethin' wrong
I feel the difference in her kiss
I want to know what I'll do when she's really gone
Well, don't you know I'm gonna lose my mind
If there's someone else after all this time

(I keep thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know

(Well somethin' tells me)
Maybe my baby's got a new guy
And he's really puttin' on a show
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know

I can't seem to pin her down
Friends tell me all I'm getting is the runaround
I'm sitting home and it's Saturday night
Is she moving in with someone else tonight

Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
(Well somethin' tells me)
Maybe my baby's got a new guy
And he's really puttin' on a show
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
Yes, and I'm not supposed to know
And I'm not supposed to know
Maybe my baby's got a new man
Who can take her where she wants to go
(I'm thinking)
Maybe my baby's got a new lover
And I'm not supposed to know
