Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mandy's in the papers 'cause she tried to go to Spain
She'll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again
Vicki's got her story 'bout the mirror and the cane
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
[Verse 2]
Steven's in his dressing gown now, breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat, he's on his feet and to the telephone
Police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
[Verse 3]
In the house, a resignation
Guilty faces, every one
Christine's fallen out with Lucky
Johnny's got a gun
"Please Please Me" is number one
[Verse 4]
It's a scandal, it's a scandal
Such a scandal
[Verse 5]
Now Steven's in the dock for spending money that was earned
By Christine, and the prosecution says the money burned
A hole in Steven's pocket, for expensive sins, he yearned
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
[Verse 6]
In the news, the suicide note
In the court, an empty space
Even Mandy's looking worried
Christine's pale and drawn
"Please Please Me" is number one
[Verse 7]
It's a scandal, it's a scandal
Such a scandal
[Verse 8]
Last night, he wrote these words to his friend
Sorry 'bout the mess
I'm guilty till proved innocent in the public eye and press
The funeral's very quiet because all his friends have fled
They may be false, they may be true
They've all got better things to do
They may be false, they may be true
But nothing has been proved, ooh
[Verse 9]
Nothing
Nothing has been proved
No, nothing
Nothing
No, nothing
Nothing
No, nothing
Nothing
No, nothing
