[Verse]
You can't stop people from talking
And they're talking, my dear
And the things they're saying
Fill my heart with fear
Now I could never believe them

[Chorus]
Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
Everyone is saying you don't love me, say it isn't so
Everywhere I go, everyone I know
Whispers that you're growing tired of me, say it isn't so
People say that you found somebody new
And it won't bе long before you leavе me, say it isn't true
Say that everything is still okay, that's all I wanna know
And what they're saying, say it isn't so
[Chorus]
Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
Everyone is saying you don't love me, say it isn't so
Everywhere I go, everyone I know
Whispers that you're growing tired of me, say it isn't so
People say that you found somebody new
And it won't be long before you leave me, say it isn't true
Say that everything is still okay, that's all I wanna know
And what they're saying, say it isn't so
