Allan Taylor Lyrics
"The Story"

My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
All the things they're saying about you

If you had something on your mind, I know you'd say
'Cause you always said if we had problems, we would find the way
But do you know you haven't said much lately and you look a little pale
Guess that something on your mind or are you just unwell

My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
All the things they're saying about you

It's nice in times of trouble, to have a friend around
But I need some time alone with you, I'm sure he wouldn't mind
So let's sit by the fire, just you and me alone
And you can cook a special meal, and I'll go buy some wine

My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
All the things they're saying about you

I'm beginning to get the picture, it's all becoming clear
Why'd you have to do it, did you have to make it here
You can't mean what you're saying, tell me it's not true
It wouldn't be so hard if I didn't love you

My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
All the things they're saying about you

All the things they're saying about you
