That's How Rumors Get Started

It's been awhile
Since I've been on this side of town
Don't cross the river much these days
Haven't been avoiding you
I'm hardly ever around
Sure we could talk
But what would I say?

And here you are
Still doing 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

Word travels faster
Than a whisper in the wind
Now all the birds are flying south
Black hawks and doves
We are at it once again
And you're talking out of both sides of your mouth

And here you are
Still doing 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

You're burning bridges
Keeping warm by the fire
But what a lovely glow it makes
I'm growing tired
Of being your exit fire
Better talk, sleep in the bed of lies that you made

And here you are
Still doing 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
That's how rumors get started
That's how rumors get started
