Lyrics

Peo ple are talk ing, talk ing a bout peo ple.

I hear them whis per, nerv-ous you won’t be lieve it.

They think we’re lov ers kept un der cov er.

They keep say ing we (Bm)laugh just a lit tle too loud,

(Bm)stand just a lit tle too close,

we (F)stare just a lit tle too (Bb)long.

May be they’re see ing some thing we don’t, it, dar ling.

(D)Let’s give them some thing to (A)talk a bout.

Let’s give them some thing to (A)talk a bout.

I wan na give them some thing to (A)talk a bout.

I want your (Bm)love.

And I feel so fool ish.

I nev er no ticed that, ba by, you’re act-ing so nerv-ous you like you’re fall ing.

It took a ru mor to make me won der.
