Mel Tillis I Talked About You All Over the Town Lyrics

 

Yes, I talked about you all over town.

 

I said I'd never talk about you when you left me

That my friends would never know that you were gone

That I would never talk about the way things happen

'Cause I don't guess that I could say you were wrong.

 

But I'd like to be the first one to tell you

All about the stories going round

And I guess I broke my promise to you

'Cause I talked about you all over town.

 

I've told everyone how much I still love you

That you're the sweetest love I ever known

I didn't give all the reasons why you left me

But I did say that I wish you'd come back home.

 

Well I never said one bitter thing about you

'Cause you've done nothing wrong from me to put you down

But a promises is a promise and I broke it

'Cause I talked about you all over town.

 

Yes, I talked about you all over town...
