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...
