You Know How Talk Gets Around

(Fred Rose)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
