Street Talk
[Chorus]
Oh, street talk has it you've been downtown
Laughing like you made a fool of me
Making lot of noise, telling all the boys that I'm easy (Easy)
Take a long walk, baby, quit stabbing this lady
In the back when she ain't there
I ain't gonna take it, this smearing my name ain't fair

[Verse 1]
I guess I should've known when I turned you down
What kind of stories you'd be spreading around
But anyone who knows me, knows it ain't true
The dirt you've been throwing is all over you

[Chorus]
Oh, street talk has it you've been downtown
Laughing like you made a fool of me
Making lot of noise, telling all the boys that I'm easy (Easy)
Take a long walk, baby, quit stabbing this lady
In the back when she ain't there
I ain't gonna take it, this smearing my name ain't fair

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, baby, you know I just can't understand
How telling lies can make you feel like a man
But anyone who knows me knows it ain't true
The dirt you've been throwing is all over you
[Chorus]
Oh, street talk has it you've been downtown
Laughing like you made a fool of me
Making lot of noise, telling all the boys that I'm easy (Easy)
Take a long walk, baby, quit stabbing this lady
In the back when she ain't there
I ain't gonna take it, this smearing my name ain't fair
