I Talked About You All Over the Town

Mel Tillis · I Ain't Never [1972]

(Ronal McCown)



Yes, I talked about you all over town.



I said I'd never talk about you when you left me

That my friends would never know that you were gone

That I would never talk about the way things happen

'Cause I don't guess that I could say you were wrong.



But I'd like to be the first one to tell you

All about the stories going round

And I guess I broke my promise to you

'Cause I talked about you all over town.



I've told everyone how much I still love you

That you're the sweetest love I ever known

I didn't give all the reasons why you left me

But I did say that I wish you'd come back home.



Well I never said one bitter thing about you

'Cause you've done nothing wrong from me to put you down

But a promises is a promise and I broke it

'Cause I talked about you all over town.



Yes, I talked about you all over town...
