Is It True
Brenda Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everywhere you go they're spreading it around
Saying that you've gone and found another one
Is it true, my love?
What about the ring you gave me yesterday?
Is it hard for me to throw it all away
As you said goodbye, if you have no lie
Is it true my love?
Don't you know, don't you know
You're making me blue
Baby, baby say it isn't, say it isn't true
Coming down the street the story looks the same
Everyone I meet is whispering your name
Saying that you've gone and found another one
Is it true, my love?
Saying that you've gone and found another one
Is it true, my love?
Don't you know, don't you know
You're making me blue
Baby, baby say it isn't, say it isn't true
Coming down the street the story looks the same
Everyone I meet is whispering your name
Saying that you've gone and found another one
Is it true, my love?
