In my neighbourhood We don't live so good The rooms are small And the building made of wood I hear the neighbours talking 'Bout you and me Oh, I guess I heard it all 'Cause the talk is loud And the walls are much too thin Mmm "No, he don't really love her" Oh-oh, that's what I heard them say He sure wasn't thinking of her today No, no, no "Hey, I saw 'em in the front yard" Said the boy in 149 Talking to a girl I've never seen before Standing there together Mm, they looked so good No, I don't wanna hear it anymore I don't wanna hear it anymore 'Cause the talk just never ends And the heartache soon begins The talk is so loud And the walls are much too thin (yeah) "Oh-oh, ain't it sad?" Said the woman down the hall "The way a nice girl falls in love Oh, ain't it just too bad she had to fall for a boy Who doesn't care, who doesn't care about her at all" No, I don't wanna hear it, baby Ooh, I just can't stand to hear it anymore, no 'Cause the talk just never ends And the heartache soon begins The talk is so loud And the walls are much too thin 'Cause the talk just never ends And the heartache soon begins Oh, the talk is so loud And the walls are much too thin
