Rumors - 1986 Version

How do rumors get started?
They're started by the jealous people and
And they get mad
Seeing something they had
And somebody else is holding
They tell me that temptation
Is very hard to resist
But these wicked women
Ooh, they just persist
Maybe you think it's cute
But girl I'm not impressed
I'll tell you one time only
With my business
Please, don't mess

(When you) look at all these rumors
Surrounding 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
My best friend said
There's one out now
About me and the girl next door

Did you hear that one about Tina
Some say she's much too loose
That came straight
From a guy who claims
He's tasted her juice
Did you hear the one about Michael
Some say he must be gay
I tried to argue
But they said if he was straight
He 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

(When you) look at all these rumors
Surrounding 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
My best friend said
There's one out now
About me and 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 seems from rumors
I just can't get away

I'll bet there'll even be rumors
Floating around on judgment day
I think I'll write my congressman
And tell him to pass a bill
So the next time they catch somebody
Starting rumors
Shoot to kill

(When you) look at all these rumors
Surrounding 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
My best friend said
There's one out now
About me and the girl next door

What's mine is mine
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

What's mine is mine
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

What's mine is mine
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

(When you) look at all these rumors
Surrounding 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
My best friend said
There's one out now
About me and the girl next door

Look at all these rumors
Surrounding 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
My best friend said
There's one out now
About me and the girl next door

Stop, stop spreading those
Rumors around
Stop, stop spreading
The lies

Stop, stop spreading those
Rumors around
Stop, stop spreading
The lies

Stop, stop spreading those
Rumors around
Stop, stop spreading
The lies

Stop, stop spreading those
Rumors around
Stop, stop spreading
The lies
