Rumors

How do rumors get started?
They're started by the jealous people
As they get fancy in something they had
And somebody else is holding
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

Will you look at all these rumors surrounding me every day?
I just need some time, some time to get away
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said, "But I'd never leave the girl next door"

Did you hear that one about Gina?
Some say she's much too loose
That came straight from a guy who claims he's making her juice
Did you hear that one about Michael?
Some say he must be gay
I tried to argue, but they say that if he
Was straight, he wouldn't move that way
Did you hear that one about Susan?
Some say she's just a tease
With a parasol, she's six feet tall, she'll knock you to your knees

Will you look at all these rumors surrounding me every day?
I just need some time, some time to get away
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said, "But I'd never leave the girl next door"

I can't go no place without somebody pointing a finger
I can't show my face 'cause when it comes to rumors, I'm a dead ringer
It's in some rumors, I just can't get away
I bet there'll even be rumors floating around on Judgment Day
I think I'll write my congressman, tell him to pass a bill
So the next time they catch somebody starting rumors, shoot to kill

Will you look at all these rumors surrounding me every day?
I just need some time, some time to get away
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more

Somebody's lying, I ain't got time for rumors in my life
I'm a man who thinks, not a man who
Drinks, so please let me live my life
Somebody's lying, I ain't got time for rumors in my life

Drinks, so please let me live my life

Drinks, so please let me live my life
