Oh, my goodness — Tia, do you remember that girl we bumped into? I heard she had five kids and the kids don’t even know who their father is! Wait, wait —

(Unintelligible talking)

Words create this energy

It rises from our head

It thrives in Chinese whispers

And gossip that we spread

I’m seeing its hateful color

In cultures of gray and black

How carelessly we release our words

Never stopping to hold them back

People [? 0:36] words our way

‘Cause again I have something to say

He lies and he cheats while she cries in her sleep

And I heard someone said that she caught them in bed

He’s addicted and deals and I heard that she steals

And I just found out that his paternity’s in doubt

Constant talking, with nothing to say

I wish that I could break away (from your)

Constant talking, it’s easy to see

If you’re talking ‘bout them

What are you saying about me?

The tension builds above us

Spreading like wildfire

The story which once had some truth

Gets twisted by the hour

Clearly having feeling

Felt throughout the land

Clouds burst and there rains confusion

And we don’t understand

People talk and I can’t run away

And again I hear someone say

I heard from a source that they’re getting divorced

‘Cause he’s been having this thing with a guy on the team

And I heard someone say he’s been getting away

With indecent assault, and he said

“Well, it wasn’t my fault”

Constant talking, with nothing to say

I wish that I could break away (from your)

Constant talking, it’s easy to see

If you’re talking ‘bout them

What are you saying about me?

You see that girl over there?

What?

That one. Well, I’ll tell you something...

Bout bout bout, bout bout bout bout

Bout bout bout bout, bout

(Who are you talking about?)

Bout bout bout, bout bout bout bout

Bout bout bout bout, bout

(Who are you talking about?)

Constant talking, with nothing to say

I wish that I could break away (from your)

Constant talking, it’s easy to see

If you’re talking ‘bout them

What are you saying about me?

Constant talking, with nothing to say

I wish that I could break away (from your)

Constant talking, it’s easy to see

If you’re talking ‘bout them

What are you saying about me?

Constant talking, with nothing to say (about me, about me)

I wish that I could break away (from your)

Constant talking, it’s easy to see

If you’re talking ‘bout them

What are you saying

About me?
