People are talkin', talkin' 'bout people I hear them whisper, you won't believe it They think we're lovers kept under covers I just ignore it, but they keep saying We laugh just a little too loud We stand just a little too close We stare just a little too long Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin' Let's give them something to talk about Let's give them something to talk about Let's give them something to talk about How about love? I feel so foolish, I never noticed You'd act so nervous Could you be falling for me? It took a rumor to make me wonder Now I'm convinced I'm going under Thinking 'bout you every day Dreaming 'bout you every night Hoping that you feel the same way Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin' Let's give them something to talk about A little mystery to figure out Let's give them something to talk about How about love, love, love, love? Let's give them something to talk about, baby A little mystery to figure out Let's give them something to talk about How about love, love, love, love? (Something to talk about) (Something to talk about) How about love, love, love, love? How about love, love, love, love?
