In my neighborhood
We don't live so good
The rooms are small
And the building made of wood

I hear the neighbors talking 'bout you and me
Oh, I guess I heard it all
'Cause the talk is loud
And the walls are much too thin

No, he don't really love her
That's what I heard them say
He sure wasn't thinking of her today
No, no, no

"Hey, I saw them in the front yard"
Said the boy in 149
Talking to a girl I've never seen before
Standing there together, they looked so good

I don't wanna hear it anymore
I don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the talk just never ends
The talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin

?Oh, ain't it sad?, said the woman down the hall
"The way a nice girl falls in love
Oh, ain't it just too bad she had to fall for a boy
Who doesn't care, who don't care about her at all?"

No, I don't wanna hear it, baby
I just can't stand to hear it anymore, no
'Cause the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin

'Cause the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
Oh, the talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin
