Singalong! Something to Talk About by Bonnie Raitt

I've always loved this song for the way it captures that initial "what if?" moment when you suddenly realize that maybe you're interested in someone else. Of course, for most of my life, realizing I liked someone was a horrifying event when I was suddenly open to all sorts of agony, but songs like this let me know it can be fun for other people.

Besides, if you're going to give people something to talk about, why not make it love? Love is great!

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

by Bonnie Raitt

People are talkin', talkin' 'bout people,

I hear them whisper, you won't believe it.

They think we're lovers kept under cover,

I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...

Laugh just a little too loud,

Stand just a little too close,

We stare just a little too long.

Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about

(Somethin' to talk about)

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about

(Somethin' to talk about)

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about

How about love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed

You act so nervous, could you be fallin' for me?

It took the rumor to make me wonder,

Now I'm convinced that I'm goin' under.

Thinkin' 'bout you every day,

Dreamin' 'bout you every night.

I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,

Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about

A little mystery to figure out

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about

How about love?

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about babe,

A little mystery to figure out.

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about,

How about love? Ooh...

Listen to 'em baby

A little mystery won't hurt 'em

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk

How about our love, love, love, love

Whoowhoo mmmm hey oohh whoowhoo

About love, love, love, love

How about they talk about it? uh huh

Talk about love........
