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’re blameing it on me
But you know how talk gets around
I hear you’re glad we parted that you’re saying 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 ammends
But you know how talk gets around
