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
