You dissolved my best-laid plans with a drop of curiosity Only the dead cats understand your thoughts should stay in fantasy Cause people are the way people are, people talk I wasn't near, you went too far, so take a walk, baby take a walk and now Rumor has it, rumor has it people saying you were untrue Don't deny it, it's been decided, every finger points at you Ru-u-u rumor has it I don't believe the very worst, being bad's not good philosophy Whether or not it's true, it hurts, this rumor's made a fool of me
Cause people are the way people are, people talk I wasn't near, you went too far, so take a walk, baby take a walk and now *CHORUS Ear to the door, or word of mouth or vow not to repeat it An eye to the hole, a shot in the dark is all that's ever needed Our trust has been defeated...hey! Ah, people are the way people are, people talk I wasn't here so you went, you went too far, baby take a walk and now *CHORUS
