The Gossip Song

(album: Pucker Up - 1980)

Have you heard the latest
About you and me?
I heard you're moving out
To be out and about

Makes me so damn mad
How the rumors get started
How they grow and they grow and you just never know
But you're gonna be here when you wake up tomorrow

If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

We got to know the answers
To all the latest questions
Tell me we're through
Tell me who's going home?

Tell me not to listen
To the lies or indictments
It grows and it grows and you just never know
But you're gonna be here when you wake up tomorrow

If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

What's the reason for it?
People talking 'bout people
It's not really true
What they say about you

Don't try to take away
A lover's helpless situation
While they grow and they grow and you just never know
But you're gonna be here when you wake up tomorrow

Hey! If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

If we can't talk about me
Then we better talk about you
If we can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?

Can't talk about me
Can't talk about you
Can't talk about something
What're we gonna do?
