Can't nobody ever come between us
 No
 We?ve got something, something special
 Yeah
 Neighbors on our street are talking about our thing, messing
 Messing with our business
 Pay no attention, baby; hold your little head up high, now

 People are going to talk, people are going to hate us
 People are going to talk.  O-o-o?
 People will be people, and I?ll tell you people, they?ve just got to talk

 O-o-o, don't worry, baby, it's going to be all right

 Can't nobody ever bring us down, now
 We got it baby, we?ve got the real "real thing"
 The way you walk, I?ll tell you, it sure is nice.  It makes them nervous
 Just to watch you walk, baby
 Keep on strutting, honey; hold your little head up high, now

 People are going to talk, people are going to stare
 People are going to balk, and o-o-o?
 People will be people, and I?ll tell you, people, they?ve just got to talk

 Don't you let them get you down, now
 Don't you worry about a dog-gone thing
 People are just naturally going to talk, about a girl who's got it
 Got everything
 And baby, baby,
 Baby, you?ve got it

 People are going to talk, people are going to frown
 People are going to walk and o-o-o, put us down
 People will be people, and I?ll tell you, people, they?ve just got to talk.

 (instrumental)

 So let them talk!  Huh!
 People are just naturally going to talk,
 But we?ve got to keep on trying?
 But we?ve got to keep on trying?
 We?ve got to keep on trying, hey, hey, yeah
 It's so hard to live in this dog-gone city
 It's a city without pity
 But we?ve got to keep on trying
 We?ve got to keep on trying
 So let them talk

 (instrumental)

 Talking about a girl who?s got it
