Lyrics Street Talk (Live) - Kathy Mattea

Street talk has it you′ve been down town bragging
That you've made a fool of me making a lot of noise
Telling all the boys that I′m easy
Take a long walk baby
'Cause stabbing this lady in the back
When she ain't there
I ain′t gonna take it ′cause smearing my name ain't fair
I guess I oughta know when I turned you down
What kinda stories you′d be spreading around
But anyone who knows me knows it ain't true
The dirt you′ve been throwing is all over you
Street talk has it you've been down town bragging
That you′ve made a fool of me making a lot of noise
Telling all the boys that I'm easy
Take a long walk baby
'Cause stabbing this lady in the back
When she ain′t there
I ain′t gonna take it 'cause smearing my name ain′t fair

But babe there's something I just can′t understand
How telling lies can make you feel like a man
But anyone who knows me knows it ain't true
The dirt you′ve been throwing is all over you

Street talk has it you've been down town bragging
That you've made a fool of me making a lot of noise
Telling all the boys that I′m easy
Take a long walk baby
′Cause stabbing this lady in the back
When she ain't there
I ain′t gonna take it 'cause smearing my name ain′t fair
