Joe Williams - It's the Talk of the Town Lyrics

We were more than lovers
We were more than sweethearts
It's so hard to understand

Don't know why it happened
Don't know how it started
Why should we be strangers
After all we planned?

I can't show my face
Can't go anyplace
People stop and stare
It's so hard to bear
Everybody knows you left me
It's the talk of the town

Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
We don't stop to speak
Though it's just a week
Everybody knows you left me
It's the talk of the town

We send out invitations
To friends and relations
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations
Gave congratulations
How can you face them?
What can you say?

Let's make up sweetheart
We can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
Keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town

How can you face them?
What can you say?

Let's make up sweetheart
We can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
Keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town
It's the talk of the town
