People...trying to tear us apart
Trying to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin'
Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
I love you more than this cruel world will ever know
I wanna be your girl forever
I don't wanna let you go
If I could change things
I would die and return
Another name and
Knowin' everything I've learned
People talkin'
People talkin'
All of my life
I have tried to get along
All I ever hear now
Is gossip and waggin' tongues
I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep
I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People tryin' to tear us apart
Tryin' to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin
Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'
People talkin'
