You Know How Talk Gets Around

I'm hearing funny stories and they're far from being true

But you know how talk gets around

Those busy tongues are wagging saying I walked out on you

But you know how talk gets around

I must admit our romance wasn't all that it should be

We tried to claim a love we'd never found

They say you're living reckless and they blame it on me

But you know how talk gets around

[ steel ]

I hear you're glad we parted that you say and you don't care

Now you know how talk gets around

They're telling everybody that I didn't treat you fair

And you know how talk gets around

I wish I wasn't quite so proud when I'm around with friends

Then I wouldn't feel so honor bound

I'd give the world to tell them how I'd love to make commands

But you know how talk gets around
