Gossip Songtext
von The Miracles

Oh, man ain′t nobody payin' no attention to you
You ain′t talkin' about nothin'
Mister Jones gets high
What you say who told you that?
Gossip is always chewin′ the fat
Mary-Jo got laid
What you say who told you that?
Gossip is always yakety yak

It won′t be long before you hear
The story of how Joan became
A young unwedded mother yeah
People down on the corner
Talkin' ′bout how Sally left her husband
To go make sweet love to another


But I'm doin′ fine
And I ain't got time for no gossip now
Oh, no said I′m doin' good
When they talk that stuff
I keep chuggin' now
Ain′t got no time
Tell me why they try
To mess up your life
And spread gossip now oh, no
And bring everybody down
Guess it′s true when the people say
Misery loves company

You know instead of spreadin' gossip, oh
They′d be better off if they got involved
In something that's constructive
Hate and jealousy yeah
Are the things that always stop them
From bein′ productive I'm tellin′ you
I, I, I


Well, I'm doin' fine
And I ain′t got time for no gossip now
Oh, no said I′m doin' good
When they talk that stuff
I keep chuggin′ now
Ain't got no time
Tell me why they try
To mess up your life
And spread gossip now oh, no
And bring everybody down
Guess it′s true when the people say
Misery loves company
Yeah, yeah

Gossip don't do nothin′
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip don't do nothin'
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip don′t do nothin′
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip don't do nothin′
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip don't do nothin′
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip don't do nothin′
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip don't do nothin'
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip don′t do nothin′
But bring the people down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gossip, gossip, gossip
Boy, that gossip is ugly
Yakety yakkin' all the time
Oughta keep their mouths shut
I could hear they want a divorce
She just married him for his money
Who told you that?
Gossip, gossip, gossip
Dirty old gossip.
