Lyrics
The word around town is that you’ve found somebody new,
They say you’re out there running ‘round.
Well, I don’t know, and I don’t say that it’s true,
Oh but baby, that’s the word around town.
The word around town is that you take your morning tea
In somebody else’s dressing gown.
A scandalous libel it seems to me
But baby, that’s the word around town,
Preacher says don’t cast the first stone, and Mama says “I told you so”.
And sister says “Leave well enough alone”,
And I can’t even tell you, I’m the last to know ‘cause I don’t know.
The gossip wastes the whole damn day, talking ‘bout what other people do.
I couldn’t care less what the gossips say, unless, of course, it’s true.
The word around town is that you’ve found somebody new,
And I confess it starts to get me down.
But it ain’t you, baby, that makes me blue,
You know, it’s just the world around town
You know it’s just the word ‘round town.
