Rumors & Gossip (In A Small Town) Lyrics & Music by George Douglas Lee People are talkin’ all around, rumors and gossip in a small town I fell in love with a dark-haired woman, I lost and found They stood her up, then they shot her down I’ve heard it a hundred times, that don’t make it true, I know you’re sorry, I’m sorry too They say they want to protect me, and give me advice While they’re kissing my ass, they’re twisting the knife They’re implying she’s lyin’, that she’s sneakin’ around Rumors and Gossip in a small town Look at your friends, you never know, One day they’re hot, next day they’re cold They say that she’ll hurt me, that she’ll let me down Rumors and gossip in a small town Why do you do this? Is it a game? Nobody wins, it’s a sin When you ruin somebody’s name Voices to the left of me, whispers on my right, Loose tongues lying, gossip flying Wicked words under cover of night Everybody’s your friend, but behind your back, You give ‘em your trust,, then they attack They’re lyin’ to me, and they’re lyin’ to you There’s my side, her side, their side and then there’s the truth I’ve heard it a hundred times, that don’t make it true, I know you’re sorry, I’m sorry too They’re trying to break us, every day, It’s not what they say, it’s the way You can’t turn me against her, so leave us alone Turn around, walk away, I’m closing the door Look at your friends, you never know, One day they’re hot, next day they’re cold They say that she’ll hurt me, that she’s runnin’ round Rumors and gossip in a small town The rumors succeeded, the gossip drove her down She packed up her bags and she left town My baby loved me, but it’s over now There’s one more broken heart, in the small town….
