I can't show my face,
   Can't go anyplace,
   People stop an' stare,
   It's so hard to bare,
   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
