It's only small town talk;
You know how people are.
They can't stand to see you,
Being who you are.

It's only small town talk;
Don't pay it no mind.
Don't believe a word they say;
They do it to you every time.

You can't believe everything you hear;
Only half of what you might see.
But if you have to believe in anyone,
I'd believe,darling, believe in me.

It's only small town talk;
A well-known fact.
You don't even know
How one other might react
To what you're thinking.
(What are they thinking...)

It's only small town talk;
They're telling all the lies
And make some people crazy.
They don't realize we're still thinking...

We're only people, trying to live together,
We're trying to make this little life work.
Who are we to judge one another.
It may lead to tears or maybe something even worse...

It's only small town talk;
You know how people are.
They can't stand to see you
Being just exactly who you are.

It's small town talk.
Pittle, pittle, it's small town talk,
Tittle, tittle, it's small town talk.
