Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down 

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's [bad word]  babe
And even if it is keep this in mind 

{Refrain}

You take it on [bad word] baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on [bad word] 

You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say [bad word] home but you won't say when
But I can feel [bad word] If you leave tonight [bad word] And you need never look back again 

{Refrain x 3} 

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
