The Whole Town's Talking

Billy Paul

I got the news today, I heard it through the grapevine
Everybody says that I'm yours and you're mine

And now the whole town's talking
The whole town is talking
Talking 'bout you and me
You and me
I knew somebody saw us

I thought nobody knew, I thought we had a secret
Now every place I go, people stopped there and whispered

And now the whole town's talking
The whole town is talking
Talking 'bout you and me
You and me
I knew, I told you somebody saw us

I don't care what they say
A love for you, my love for you is so strong
Why don't they just mind their business
A love so true could never, never, never
End in, end in, end in pain

I heard the news today, hey baby, through the gossip grapevine
Everybody says that I'm yours and you're mine

And now the whole town's talking
The whole town is talking
Talking 'bout you and me
Talking 'bout you and me
Talking 'bout you and me
You and me
(The whole town is talking)
Told you somebody saw us

(The whole town is talking)
I heard it throught the grapevine
(The whole town is talking)
People stop, whisper
(The whole town is talking)
(The whole town is talking)
The whole town is talking
(The whole town is talking)
I don't care what people think
(The whole town is talking)
My love for you is strong
(The whole town is talking)
Strong, strong, strong
(The whole town is talking)
(The whole town is talking)
Why don't they just mind their business
(The whole town is talking)
When love is true, you never, never
(The whole town is talking)
Never, never, never, never, never, never
(The whole town is talking)
(The whole town is talking)
Never
(The whole town is talking)
(The whole town is talking)
The whole town is talking 'bout it
(The whole town is talking)
(The whole town is talking)
The whole town is talking 'bout it
(The whole town is talking)
(The whole town is talking)
I heard it through the gossip grapevine
(The whole town is talking)
They got a grapevine
(The whole town is talking)
I've got an excuse tonight
(The whole town is talking)
I've got somebody new
(The whole town is talking)
And we've got a secret
(The whole town is talking)
We've got a secret
(The whole town is talking)
