Talk Of This Town (Commentary)

I wish somebody'd get married

Or maybe even have a baby

Hope the home team finally makes

It all the way to state

Hell, it'd even be a blessing

If somebody got arrested

Yeah, whatever it takes

To forget our heartbreak

How can I ever find somebody new

When they keep reminding me of you?

I don't wanna be the talk of this town

The buzz at the bar, word going 'round

Like front-page news and it's too loud to ignore

Like we lit a match when we broke up

Now the little of what's still left of us

Is burning door to door

I don't wanna be the talk of this town anymore

Heard that I was goin' crazy

And that you've been drinkin' lately

Everybody's takin' sides

Little lies in checkout lines

Oh, I pray, for some kind of distraction

Can we all just act like nothin' ever happened?

I don't wanna be the talk of this town

The buzz at the bar, word going 'round

Like front-page news and it's too loud to ignore

Like we lit a match when we broke up

Now the little of what's still left of us

Is burning door to door

I don't wanna be the talk of this town anymore

Oh, anymore

Baby, I could get over you

If you and I could be old news (Oh)

Oh, I don't wanna be the talk of this town

The buzz at the bar, word going 'round

Like front-page news and it's too loud to ignore

Like we lit a match when we broke up

Now the little of what's still left of us

Is burnin' door to door (Oh, burning, burning, burning)

No, I don't wanna be the talk of this town anymore

Whoa

No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be the talk anymore

No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna be

(No, I don't wanna be)

(I don't wanna be)

No, I don't wanna be the talk anymore

Whoa
