[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
