People...trying to tear us apart Trying to rip out my heart
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name
I love you more than this cruel world will ever know I wanna be your girl forever Knowin' everything I've learned
I have tried to get along Is gossip and waggin' tongues
I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets
People tryin' to tear us apart Tryin' to rip out my heart
Livin' is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name
