[Verse 1: Charles Kelly] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Hillary Scott] How can I ever find somebody new When they keep reminding me of you? [Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott] 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 [Verse 2: Hillary Scott] Heard that I was goin' crazy And that you've been drinkin' lately Everybody's takin' sides Little lies in checkout lines [Pre-Chorus: Charles Kelly with Hillary Scott] Oh, I pray, for some kind of distraction Can we all just act like nothin' ever happened? [Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott, Hillary Scott] 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 [Bridge: Charles Kelly with Hillary Scott] Baby, I could get over you If you and I could be old news (Oh) [Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott] 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 burnin' 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 [Outro: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott] (No, I don't wanna be) (I don't wanna be) No, I don't wanna be the talk anymore Whoa
