Rumors

Oh no, not again
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
One, two, three

All the rumors get started
Started by the jealous people and
They get mad, it's somethin' they had
And somebody else is holdin'
They tell me that temptation
Is very hard to resist

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

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
If my best friend says
Why'd I never meet the girl next door?

Did you hear that one about Tina?
Some say she's much too loose
That girl stay from a guy
Who's crazy tender and juice
Did you read that one about Michael?

Some say he must be gay
I tried to argue but they say
They think he was straight, 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

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
If my best friend says
Why'd I never meet 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 in the ringer
It seems the rumors
I just can't get away

I bet there'll always be rumors
Floatin' around on a judgment day
I think I'll write my congressman
And tell him about Sophia
So the next time I catch somebody
Startin' rumors, shoot to kill

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
If my best friend says
Why'd I never meet the girl next door?

What you mean, say?
You didn't say, you say
