They said she was crazy They said she beat all they'd ever seen Just a baby when she was only seventeen They said that she walked away from money She ran away from home Out of the grasp of those that loved her Into the arms of the unknown Desiree Bet she never gets to Chicago People on the corner say Desiree Bet she never gets what she wanted anyway Desiree Talk about you Desiree She was a dreamer And they had her whole life prearranged And what she was dreaming One little town could not contain She never minded people talking Some people need their small town games To ruin their family's happy ending And she put a mark on her good name Desiree Bet she never gets to Chicago She'll be calling back one day Desiree Bet she never gets what she wanted anyway Desiree Talk about you Desiree Desiree Would they talk about me now? Desiree Would they talk about me now? Desiree Would they talk about me now? Desiree Would they talk about me now?
