People Gonna Talk

People Gonna Talk Lyrics

William Wheeler, Lee Dorsey, Morris Levy and Clarence Lewis
People gonna talk about the things you do,
they're gonna talk, be it a lie or truth.
Night and day, day or night,
they're gonna talk, be it wrong or right.
People gonna talk about you, anyway;
They're gonna talk, no matter what you say.
Night or day, day or night,
They're gonna talk, be it wrong or right.
Seems they've just got to yakety, yakety, yak.
Though they know best not to,
the minute you turn your back.
People gonna talk until they're satisfied;
They're gonna talk until they make you cry.
Near or far, here and now,
They're gonna talk, 'cause that's how people are.
