People gonna talk about the things you do
They`re gonna talk, be it lie or true
Night or day, day or night
They`re gonna talk be it wrong or right
People gonna talk about you anyway
They`re gonna talk no matter what you say
Night or day, day or night
They`re gonna talk be it wrong or right
It seems they`ve just got to
Yakety yakety yak
Though they know best not to
The minute you turn your back
People gonna talk until they`re satisfied
They`re gonna talk until they make you cry
Near or far, here right now
They`re gonna talk `cause that`s how people are
It seems they`ve just got to
Yakety yakety yak
Though they know best not to
The moment you turn your back
People gonna talk until they`re satisfied
They`re gonna talk until they make you cry
Here right now, near or far
They`re gonna talk `cause that`s how people are
They`re gonna talk `cause that`s how people are
