(Barbara's boy is Barbara's boy)
If he's mine I don't know
How could any man ever really know?
(Barbara's boy is Barbara's boy)
But I love him so

I was so proud to be the father of the son
We wanted desperately
I wanted the whole wide world to see the son
Barbara gave to me

I said: "Those eyes, don't they just look like mine?"
And then I heard that rumour one more time
I couldn't ignore the spiteful tongues
That made me doubt: is he really my son?

If he's mine I don't know
How could any man ever really know?
(Barbara's boy is Barbara's boy)
But I love him so

I heard that she was me biding my time
With this other guy
I cannot believe that Barbara would cheat on me
She wasn't one to lie

She said: "I love him, 'cause he's poorer than you"
How could she say it if it isn't true?
I end up feeling like the guilty one
When she says: "Darling, do you love your son?"

If he's mine I don't know

(Barbara's boy is Barbara's boy)
But I love him so

Since my good times were stopped
Blaming her, charging her
And then we'll see that I
Content to be loving her

I would never accuse that girl
I couldn't live if I should lose that girl
Let the gossips have their say
Wildly talk will never come in your way, but
