That's How Rumors Get Started

[Verse 1] It's been a while since I've been on this side of town Don't cross the river much these days Haven't been avoidin' you, I'm hardly ever around Sure, we could talk, but what would I say? [Chorus] And here you are Still doin' you Never worked out But it never stopped you All I know is every time That your lips are parted Right behind my back That's how rumors get started That's how rumors get started [Verse 2] Word travels faster than a whisper in the wind Now all the birds are flyin' south Black hawks and doves, we are at it once again And you're talkin' out of both sides of your mouth [Chorus] And here you are Still doin' you It never worked out But it never stopped you All I know is every time That your lips are parted Right behind my back That's how rumors get started That's how rumors get started [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] You're burnin' bridges, keepin' warm by the fire For what a lovely glow it makes I'm growin' tired of being your exit fire Bet it's hard to sleep in a bed of lies that you made [Chorus] And here you are Still doin' you It never worked out But it never stopped you All I know is every time That your lips are parted Right behind my back That's how rumors get started That's how rumors get started [Outro] That's how rumors get started That's how rumors get started
