I wish somebody'd get married

Or maybe even have a baby

Hope the home team finally makes

It all the way to state.

Hell it'd even be a blessing

If somebody got arrested

Yeah whatever it takes

To forget our heartbreak.

How can I

Ever find somebody new

When they keep

Reminding me of you.

I don't wanna be the talk of this town

The buzz at the bar, word going 'round

Like front-page news and it's too loud to ignore

Like we lit a match when we broke up

Now the little of what's still left of us

Is burning door to door

I don't wanna be the talk of this town anymore.

Heard that I was going crazy

And that you've been drinking lately

Everybody's taking sides

Little lies in checkout lines.

Oh, I pray

For some kind of distraction

Can we all just act like

Nothing ever happened.

I don't wanna be the talk of this town

The buzz at the bar, word going 'round

Like front-page news and it's too loud to ignore

Like we lit a match when we broke up

Now the little of what's still left of us

Is burning door to door

I don't wanna be the talk of this town anymore

Oh, anymore.

Baby, I could get over you

If you and I could be old news.

Oh, I don't wanna be the talk of this town

The buzz at the bar, word going 'round

Like front-page news and it's too loud to ignore

Like we lit a match when we broke up

Now the little of what's still left of us

Is burning door to door

(Oh, burning, burning, burning)

No, I don't wanna be the talk of this town anymore

Whoa...

No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna be

No, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be the talk anymore

No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna be

(No, I don't wanna be)

(I don't wanna be)

No, I don't wanna be the talk anymore

Whoa...
