(Rumor) Right now (goin' 'round)
I need some answers, boy
(Rumor) I need to know the truth (round town)
Why you wanna play with my love? (mmh-hm-hm)
Don't you think that I can see the change (hey, yeah)
Was a time you couldn't get enough (ah-ah-ooh)
But now the feelings just ain't the same (oh, yeah)

My world is turning, it's upside down
'Cause I done heard about
The word that's going round, round

Baby, I gotta know right now
Baby, I gotta know right now
Baby, I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town
And they say you gonna let me down
Yeah, yeah, I gotta know right now
Yeah, yeah, I gotta know right now
Yeah, yeah, I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town
And they say you gonna let me down

Rumors (god damn)
Why you gotta be a bad man? (going round)
You know that I can see through the lies (yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause it's written all over your face
And don't you know (don't you know)
I see it in your eyes, baby?
That something seems so outta place (ooh-ooh, yeah)

My ears are burning, they start to pound
'Cause I done heard about the word
That's going round, round

Baby, I gotta know right now
Baby, I gotta know right now
Baby, I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town
And they say you gonna let me down
Yeah, yeah, I gotta know right now
Yeah, yeah, I gotta know right now
Yeah, yeah, I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town
And they say you gonna let me down

Don't hurt me, baby, don't cause me pain
I can't believe things they say
What you do is killing me
Why you wanna strip me of my dignity?

Baby, I gotta know right now
Baby, you gonna let me down?
Baby, I gotta know right now
I gotta, I gotta know if you let me down
Baby, I gotta know right now
Baby, I gotta know right now
Baby, I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town
And they say you gonna let me down
