People Gonna Talk

The Box Tops

Please, don't cry, my baby 
Can't nobody ever come between us 
No we've got something, something special 
Yeah 
Neighbors on our street are talking about our thing, messing 
Messing with our business 
Pay no attention, baby; hold your little head up high, now 

People are going to talk, people are going to hate us 
People are going to talk. O-o-o? 
People will be people, and I'll tell you people, they've just got to talk 

O-o-o, don't worry, baby, it's going to be all right 
Can't nobody ever bring us down, now 
We got it baby, we've got the real "real thing" 
The way you walk, I'll tell you, it sure is nice. It makes them nervous 
Just to watch you walk, baby 
Keep on strutting, honey; hold your little head up high, now 

People are going to talk, people are going to stare 
People are going to balk, and o-o-o? 
People will be people, and I'll tell you, people, they've just got to talk 

Don't you let them get you down, now 
Don't you worry about a dog-gone thing 
People are just naturally going to talk, about a girl who's got it 
Got everything 
And baby, baby, 
Baby, you've got it 

People are going to talk, people are going to frown 
People are going to walk and o-o-o, put us down 
People will be people, and I'll tell you, people, they've just got to talk. 

So let them talk! Huh! 
People are just naturally going to talk, 
But we've got to keep on trying? 
But we've got to keep on trying? 
We've got to keep on trying, hey, hey, yeah 
It's so hard to live in this dog-gone city 
It's a city without pity 
But we've got to keep on trying 
We've got to keep on trying 
So let them talk 
Talking about a girl who's got it?
