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!
*INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (same chords as INTRO)
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
