CHORUS:
Oh, street talk has it, you've been down town laughing
That you've made a fool of me

Making lotta noise, telling all the boys, I'm easy
Em
Take a long walk baby, 'cause stabbing this lady
In the back when she ain't there
I ain't gonna take it
B Em Am
'Cause smearing my name ain't fair
Em Am
I guess I shoulda known, when I turned you down
G Am
What kinda stories you'd be spreading around
Em
But anyone who knows me, knows it ain't true
Am B
The dirt you've been throwing is all over you
