Rumors

How do rumors get started?

They're started by the jealous people

And they get mad seein' somethin' they had

And somebody else is holdin'

Tell me that temptation is very hard to resist

But these wicked women, ooh, they just persist

Maybe you think it's cute

But, girl, I'm not impressed

I tell you one time only with my business, please don't mess

When you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day

I just need some time

Some time to get away from

From all these rumors

I can't take it no more

My best friend said

There's one out now about me and the girl next door

Did you hear that one about Tina?

Some say she's much too loose

That came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice

But did you hear that one about Michael?

Some say he must be gay

I tried to argue

But they said if he was straight he wouldn't move that way

Did you hear that one about Susan?

Some say she's just a tease

In a camisole she's six feet tall

She'll knock you to your knees

When you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day

I just need some time

Some time to get away from

From all these rumors

Can't take it no more

My best friend said

There's one out now about me and the girl next door

I can't go no place without somebody pointin' a finger

I can't show my face 'cause when it comes to rumors, I'm a dead ringer

It seems from rumors, I just can't get away

I bet they'll even be rumors floatin' around on judgement day

Think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill

For the next time they catch somebody startin' rumors, shoot to kill

When you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day

I just need some time

Some time to get away from

From all these rumors

Can't take it no more

My best friend said

There's one out now about me and the girl next door

What's mine is mine

So please let me live my life

What's mine is mine

I ain't got time for rumors in my life

I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks (Look at all these rumors, yeah)

So please let me live my life

What's mine is mine

I ain't got time for rumors in my life

I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks (Look at all these rumors, yeah)

So please let me live my life

(Will you look at all these rumors) Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day

(I can't take it, baby) I just need some time

Some time to get away from (Can't you see the hate in my eyes?)

From all these rumors

Can't take it no more (Say now)

My best friend said

There's one out now about me and the girl next door (Oh no)

Look at all these rumors

They're surroundin' me every day (When you)

I just need some time

Some time to get away from (We get no time for the lies)

From all these rumors

My best friend said

Stop, stop spreadin' those rumors around

(Oh, I wish you'd stop) Stop, stop spreadin' the lies

Stop, stop spreadin' those rumors around (Why you gotta keep on tellin' those lies, baby?)

Stop, stop spreadin' the lies (Ain't nothin' but a fib, a white lie, not always good to me, baby stop)

Stop, stop spreadin' those rumors around

Stop, stop spreadin' the lies (Whoo hoo hoo)

Stop, stop spreadin' those rumors around (Baby, won't you please stop, oh, yeah)

Stop, stop spreadin' the lies (I'm down on my knees, beggin' you please, baby)

Stop, stop spreadin' those rumors around
