Talk about me, talk about me, talk about me, talk
(Mmm)
(Talk) Talk about me, talk about me (Ooh), talk about
me, talk (Yeah)
Talk about me, talk about me (Mmm), talk about me,
talk (Mmm)
(Talk) Talk about me, talk about me (Mmm), talk about
me, talk

Every time I turn around
Im always hearin somebody tryin to put me down
They try to say that Im this, that Im that
But all the while they talkin, they dont know me
like that

Its a crying shame what some people do
They always say stuff about you that aint even true
So if you think you got somethin you wanna say
Why dont you build the nerve to come say it to my
face

And talkin bout me (Talkin bout me) behind my back
(Oh)
If you got somethin to say, why you say it like that
Stop talkin bout me (Talkin bout me) behind my
back (Yeah)
If you got somethin to say (Ooh), wont you just say
that

Stop talkin bout me (Ooh) behind my back (Mmm)
If you got somethin to say, why you say it like that
(Say it like that)
Stop talkin bout me (Yeah) behind my back (Mmm)
If you got somethin to say, wont you just say, just
say

You better watch who you call your friends
Think Im around, well, you can pay your caps and a
few ends
Kinda funny when your dough gets gone
They talk about you like a dog to their friends on the
phone

Its a crying shame what some people say
Sometimes I think that they wanna just take my place
So while you talkin bout somebody else
You need to take the time and straighten yourself

And stop talkin bout me (Me) behind my back (Oh)
If you got somethin to say, why you say it like that
