I know I've been untrue but now I love just you

If not sweetheart I'd still be there with him

If the spark of doubt remains and their talk has been to flame

I'll always be a sinner to them

Waggin' tongues and small town talk are to blame my dear not you

Don't ever let them drive me from your heart

I can never live it down with waggin' tongues around

Those waggin' tongues are tearing us apart

[ steel ]

Every Romeo in town has tried to come around

And hopes that all the things they heard were true

When they found it was a lie the truth they did deny

Those waggin' tongues took over and did prove

Waggin' tongues and small town talk...
