People Just Love To Talk

Well, there's a rumor goin' 'round

About a woman in town

That lives just down the street

Some people have a question

About her discretion it seems

When a husband went missin'

People started dishin'

Various and [?]

But there's one I like best

And this is the way it goes

A sonless woman said

She heard the whole thing

From a window on the second floor

But when the police came

And asked her did she see it happen

All she could say was, "Well, no"

People just love to talk

People just love to talk

If you don't know sometin'

Don't say nothin'

People just love to talk

There's yet a new addition

Cooked up in the kitchen

Of a restaurant who I know

It just keeps gettin' better

And this is the way it goes

On the night in question

A couple came in

Had drinks in the bar by the door

By the time they were leavin'

It was clear she was seethin'

And nobody seen him no more

People just love to talk

People just love to talk

If you don't know sometin'

Don't say nothin'

People just love to talk

When people get stuck just yacking it up

Reason slips through the cracks in the floor

It's hard to make the distinction

Between fact and fiction for sure

Yeah, for sure

People just love to talk

People just love to talk

If you don't know sometin'

Don't say nothin'

People just love to talk

People just love to talk

People just love to talk

If you don't know sometin'

Don't say nothin'

People just love to talk

If you don't know sometin'

Don't say nothin'

People just love to talk
