lyrics

“IT’S ALL OVER TOWN” words and music ©1991 By JAG Delaney

Verse 1
Tell me that it’s over tell me that it’s gone
Tell me you loved me once I’m no longer that certain someone
You could never keep a secret there’s been a rumour on the rounds
They tell me its all over and Its all over town

Verse2
I’m the last one to know it but that ain’t what really hurts
I’m crippled by the unease of the heart on the sleeve of my shirt
Everybody knows it – you brought me right down
Told them it’s all over – it’s all over town

Chorus
I can’t cry – but dontcha see the blues in my eyes
I carry them with me wherever I go – now
You walked on by and I feel like I could die
If I should cry I’m sure I’d simply drown – it’s all over town
It’s all over town

Bridge Verse 3
Tell me it’s a nightmare, tell me love is strong
Tell me my imagination’s run riot, and I have heard it wrong
I’d love to deceive myself, and turn off the sound
Of old friends’ commiserations when it’s all over town,
It’s all over town…

Chorus as above

Verse 4
Tell me that it’s over tell me love is gone
Say it’s a word that bound you once, those times are now undone
Never one for a secret, still the truth can get me down
No need to tell me it’s all over when it’s all over town

Final Chorus
I can’t cry – but dontcha see the blues in my eyes
I carry them with me wherever I go – now
You walked on by and right out of my life
If I should cry I’m sure I’d simply drown – it’s all over town
It’s all over town
