Darling there's talk around town bout a girl who spreads love around With soft lips and eyes crystal blue darling please say it's not you They say that she comes in alone and stays till self respect is gone And each night she leaves with someone new darling say it's not you Then at first what they said didn't hurt me until they mentioned her name Then slowly the tears overtook me her name and yours is the same Each night till the breaking of dawn I'm prayin' that you're not the one Tell me lies but say it's not true darling say it's not you Darling say it's not you
