lyrics
She always hoped to have the spotlight
But she was always in the back
She always wished that she was something
But there was something that she lacked
She always wanted to be the winner
But she never played the game
She always dreamed of being noticed
Now everyone knows her name
And she’s the talk of the town, She’s the talk of the town
You must remember to be careful, but she forgot
She always begged to be someone, and now she’s not
She was starving for affection while everyone turned away
Don’t get me wrong about justice, but every dog must have its day
And she’s the talk of the town, She’s the talk of the town
[aside: She used to spread the word of tragedy and love
Now she’s the one they’re speaking of]
And She’s the talk of the town, She’s the talk of the town
