[Intro] Ooh yeah Now word is out The word is out Innocence Word is out Over town Now the word is out Word is out Now the word is out The word is out [Verse 1] You're clinging to a lie Still you hope to try And save your face, ooh It's a no-win situation There ain't gonna be a saving grace Because you're sticking to a story It really makes no sense No judge or jury could ignore the evidence [Chorus] Because the word is out I can't go on believing in your innocence Now the word is out (the word is out) The word is out You can't go on pretending It's all over town Now the word is out (the word is out) [Verse 2] Ain't but one redeeming feature So you may as well accept your fate (Accept your fate), ooh You can't wriggle out of this, it's gone too far It's much too late (it's much too late) But it's funny my suspicions lead me to the lie From the friend of a so-called friend I heard about your double life [Chorus] [Bridge] Ooh yeah Because the word is out Can't go on pretending Innocence The word is out [2x] Yeah Over town Now the word is out (the word is out) It's all over town [Chorus]
