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 blaming 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 amends But you know how talk gets around --- You Know How Talk Gets Around - Eddy Arnold
