Talk Of The Town
Houston Person/Stan Hope/Buster Williams/Grady Tate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were more than sweethearts,
It's so hard to understand.
Don't know why it happened,
Don't know how it started,
Why should we be strangers,
After all we planned.
I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare,
It's so hard to bear,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town
Every time we meet,
My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak,
'Though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town
We send out invitations,
To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations,
Gave congratulations,
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town, hm
It's the talk of the town.
The lyrics of Talk of the Town by Houston Person/Stan Hope/Buster Williams/Grady Tate speak of a couple who were more than just lovers but have now become strangers, and everyone knows about their breakup. The singer in the song finds it hard to go out because people stare at them, and the fact that their ex-partner left them is the gossip of the town. The singer feels heartbroken and misses their ex, and every time they meet, their heart skips a beat, but they don't stop to speak. They had already sent out invitations for their wedding, and now that they have broken up, it's hard to face their friends and family, who were congratulating them until recently. The singer urges their ex to make up and not let foolish pride keep them apart because the love they shared should not come to an end.
The song is entirely relatable as it talks about heartbreak, separation from a loved one, and the pain of letting go. The lyrics are written beautifully to convey the feeling of loneliness and the helplessness of the singer. The repetition of the line "It's the talk of the town" emphasizes the fact that everyone in town knows about the breakup, which adds more to the singer's pain. The lyrics' melody is slow-paced and melancholic, which conveys a sense of longing and heartbreak.
