[Intro]
In my neighborhood
Where folks don't live so good now
The rooms are small
Most the buildings made of wood
I hear the neighbors talkin' about you and me
Yes, I've heard most every word
'Cause the talking's loud
And the walls are much too thin

[Verse 1]
"She don't really love him"
Oh, that's what I heard them say
"She sure wasn't thinkin' of him today
I saw her in the courtyard
Say, that girl in room 149
Talkin' to a boy I've never seen before
And standin' there together
Don't you know they looked so fine?"

[Chorus]
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
They're much too thin
[Verse 2]
Lord, ain't it sad" said the woman 'cross the hall
"That when a nice boy like that falls in love
Hey, it's just too bad that he had to go and fall
For a girl who doesn't care for him at all"

[Chorus]
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
Oh, they talk so loud and the walls
Are much too thin

[Outro]
Oh, I wish they wouldn't talk so loud
And expose my heartache to the crowd
These walls around me are so thin
Sometimes I think they're movin' in
