Left my hometown
in a hurry
Bright eyed with brand new
strings on my guitar
Then I did the dance,
went to the parties
Shook all the heads, dressed like a
Barbie
So they wouldn't forget me
But where did it get me?
I hear the talk of the town
People say I should listen
So many words going around
About what's cool and what isn't
It goes on and on
I should go back to
Bonn
Sing happier songs
My tears are ticking, it's the truth
But they'll never say you're
only the talk of the town
Till they find someone new to
talk about
They say there's room for many
And they only open the gate
for one out of ten
They say hurry up
and wait your turn
Then you turn around and
you feel the burn
Of being skipped in line
Wish I had a dime for every single town
I hear the talk of the town
People say I should listen
So many words going round
About what's cool and what isn't,
it goes on and on
I should go back to
Blanc and sing happier songs
Cause my tears are ticking,
it's the truth
But they'll never say it,
you're only the talk of the town
Till you find someone new to talk
about
Yeah, I did the dance
Went to the parties
Shook all the hands
Dressed like a barbie
For the keys to the castle
Turns out it ain't worth the hassle
Cause it's just the talk of the town
People say I should listen
So many words goin' round
About what's cool and what isn't
It goes on and on
I should go back to
Blanc to sing happier songs
Cause my ten years are tickin'
Girl, give them hell
They don't know what they're missin'
Be yourself and nobody different
Cause you're only the talk of the town
Till they find someone
new to talk about
You're only the talk of the town
Till they find someone new to talk about
