Talk
Bonnie Raitt & Lowell George Lyrics

People are talking, talking 'bout people
People are talking and gossiping about us.

I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
I can hear them gossiping, and it's unbelievable.

They think we're lovers kept under cover
They believe that we are secretly in love.

I'll just ignore it, but they keep saying
I try to ignore it, but they keep on talking.

We laugh just a little too loud
We enjoy each other's company and have fun together.

Stand just a little too close
We are physically close and have a connection.

We stare just a little too long
We have intense eye contact and may have feelings for each other.

Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin'
Perhaps the gossipers see something between us that we do not see ourselves.

Let's give 'em something to talk about
Let's do something to give the gossipers even more to talk about.

A little mystery to figure out, babe
Let's keep things just ambiguous enough to keep them guessing.

How about love, love, love?
What if we give them something to talk about by being openly in love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
I feel foolish for not realizing that you might have feelings for me.

You'd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
I notice that you are acting nervous or different around me, and I wonder if you are starting to fall in love with me.

It took a rumor to make me wonder
It's only because of the gossip and rumors that I started to wonder if there was something between us.

Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Now I am falling in love with you for real, and I cannot help myself.

Thinking 'bout you everyday, dreaming 'bout you every night
I cannot stop thinking about you and fantasizing about us being together.

I'm hoping that you feel the same way
I am hoping that you have the same feelings that I have for you.

Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'
Now that we have acknowledged our feelings, let's be open and public about it.

Ooh, listen up, baby
Hey, listen to me carefully.

A little mystery won't hurt
It's not a bad thing to keep some mystery and intrigue in our relationship.

How about our love, love, love, love?
What if we show them that we are in love, and give them even more to talk about?
