PEOPLE TALK
©1958 –
music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

Well people can talk about love
And people can talk about love
But I don’t know what they’re gonna’ talk about now
Well people can talk in the mornin’
And people can talk in the evenin’
But I don’t know what they’re gonna talk about now


(Chorus:)

There isn’t any mystery to this talkin’ we do
There isn’t any mystery
It’s all in not a bein’
It’s all in not a bein’
It’s all in not a bein’ blue


And people can tell you goodbye
And people can laugh or cry
But I don’t know what they’re gonna do right now
And people can talk, talk, talk about people
Yes people can talk about people
But I don’t know what they’re gonna talk about now


(Chorus)


And people can talk about hope
And people can talk, talk, talk about faith
That’s what I know they’re gonna talk about now
And people can talk about dreams
People can try to explain
That’s what I know they’re gonna do right now
That’s what I know they’re gonna do right now’
That’s what I know they’re gonna do right now.
