Listen to the talk that's going around town Everywhere you go they're spreading it around Saying that you've gone and found another one Is it true, my love? What about the ring you gave me yesterday? Is it hard for me to throw it all away As you said goodbye, if you have no lie Is it true my love? Don't you know, don't you know You're making me blue Baby, baby say it isn't, say it isn't true Coming down the street the story looks the same Everyone I meet is whispering your name Saying that you've gone and found another one Is it true, my love? Saying that you've gone and found another one Is it true, my love? Don't you know, don't you know You're making me blue Baby, baby say it isn't, say it isn't true Coming down the street the story looks the same Everyone I meet is whispering your name Saying that you've gone and found another one Is it true, my love?
