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
