Hurray For The Riff Raff - People Talkin' Lyrics

Hurray For The Riff Raff Lyrics

"People Talkin'"
(originally by Lucinda Williams)

Well, people, they're tryin' to tear us apart
They try and rip out my heart
Those people talkin'
People talkin'

And livin' is full of misery and pain
But if somebody calls you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

I love you more than this cruel world will ever know
I wanna be your girl forever
I don't wanna let you go
Well, if I could change things
I would die just to return
Another name and
Knowin' everything I've learned
I'd keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

Now all of my life I've just tried to get along
But all I ever hear now
Is gossip and waggin' tongues
And I have suffered
And I have cried myself to sleep
And I have wandered
Down these highways and dirty streets
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

Well, people, they're tryin' to tear us apart
They try and rip out my heart
Those people talkin'
People talkin'

And livin' is full of misery and pain
But if somebody calls you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

I love you more than this cruel world will ever know
And I wanna be your girl forever
I don't wanna let you go
Well, if I could change things
I would die just to return
Another name and
Knowin' everything I've learned
I'd keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

Oh, people talkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Those people talkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
