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...
