[Verse 1]
I said your name too loud at the gas station
and smiled like I was tryin' to hide it
Got caught buyin' two drinks at the county line
just in case you wanted to try it
Mama saw me leanin' on your truck bed
with that grin I can't erase
By Monday morning, half this town knew
what I see written on your face
[Pre-Chorus]
The barber said, "Boy, you sure changed"
the waitress gave that knowing look
I tried to play it cool, actin' all smooth
but everybody read me like a book
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm in love with you
and word gets around
Word gets around
in a small town
Baby, I'm in love with you
ain't no way to hide it now
Word gets around
word gets around
[Verse 2]
There's your boots by the porch light
there's my jacket on your chair
There's your laugh rollin' out the screen door
like it always finds me there
Old man Reed at the feed store
said, "Son, you're easy to read"
I just tipped my cap, couldn't help it
'cause you're all I ever need
[Pre-Chorus]
The barber said, "Boy, you sure changed"
the waitress gave that knowing look
I tried to play it cool, actin' all smooth
but everybody read me like a book
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm in love with you
and word gets around
Word gets around
in a small town
Baby, I'm in love with you
ain't no way to hide it now
Word gets around
word gets around
[Bridge]
Let 'em talk at the corner store
let 'em smile when we pull in
If this whole town knows I chose you
I’d choose you all over again
[Final Chorus]
Baby, I'm in love with you
and word gets around
Word gets around
in a small town
Baby, I'm in love with you
ain't no way to hide it now
Word gets around
word gets around
Baby, I'm in love with you
(and the whole town knows it now)
Word gets around
word gets around
