They told me

/

about

This song is about gossip and people telling others how to live their lives.

lyrics

They told me

They told me, it won’t take long
before it all starts fading away
They even wrote me, but I’ll prove them wrong
I’m talking ‘bout forever and a day

They told me, it won’t take long
Just think of the past, you’re moving too fast
In time you’ll sing another song
Sure enough, it can never last

But now when I look at all the trouble I see
Nobody knows a thing, it’s blur like a riddle
But still some folks have to lay it on me
But I know it’s not a fling, love you more than a little

They told me, it won’t take long
Before it all starts fading away
They even wrote me, but I’ll prove them wrong
I’m talking ‘bout forever and a day

But now when I look at all the trouble I see
Nobody knows a thing, it’s blur like a riddle
But still some folks have to lay it on me
I know it’s not a fling, love you more than a little

They told me, it won’t take long
Just think of the past, you’re going too fast
In time you’ll sing another song
Sure enough, it can never last

They told me, it won’t take long
before it all starts fading away
They even wrote me, but I’ll prove them wrong
I’m talking ‘bout forever and a day
I’m talking ‘bout forever and a day
I’m talking ‘bout forever and a day!

They told me
