v-1
now, it runs through town, like a wildfire,
burning so fast, burning so hot with passion, with desire.
a rumor told again and again,
where did it begin, where does it end.
so and so is going out with so and so,
does her husband or his wife even know?
you know the truth is going to be found,
for you can't escape the talk of the town.
chorus
yeah, a rumor will so high fly,
when it is in back of a lie.
half truths that are spoken,
can cause hearts to be broken.
v-2
yes, tears will begin to fall,
if upon a rumor you ever call.
still a rumor will live on and on,
as each minute, it gets more strong.
yes, when a rumor you listen to,
even if that rumor is about you.
chorus
yeah, a rumor will so high fly,
when it is in back of a lie.
half truths that are spoken,
can cause hearts to be broken.
bridge
go ahead, let someone know the sorrow,
as a rumor begins to kill the joy of tomorrow.
v-3
yes, somewhere, some place,
a smile drops off a face,
as a rumor begins to spead,
you know, a love will soon be dead.
chorus
yeah, a rumor will so high fly,
when it is in back of a lie.
half truths that are spoken,
can cause hearts to be broken.
half truths that are spoken,
can cause hearts to be broken.
