Verse 1
How do rumors get started, they’re started by the jealous people and They get mad seeing something they had and somebody else is holding
They tell me that temptation is very hard to resist but these wicked women, ooh, they just persist
Maybe you think it’s cute, but girl, I’m not impressed I'll tell you one time only with my business please don’t mess

Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time,
some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My
best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door

Verse 2

Did you hear the one about Tina, some say she’s much too loose That came straight from a guy who claims he’s tasted her juice
Did you hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay I tried to
argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn’t move that way
Did you hear that one about Susan, some say she’s just a tease In a camisole she’s six feet
tall, she’ll knock you to your knees

Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time,
some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My
best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door

Verse 3
I can’t go no place without somebody pointing a finger I can’t show my face ‘cause when
it comes to rumors I’m a dead ringer
It seems from rumors I just can’t get away I'll bet there’ll even be rumors floating around on Judgment Day
I’ll think I’ll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill So the next time they catch
somebody starting rumors, shoot to kill

Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My best friend said
there’s one out now about me and the girl next door

Bridge

What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life

Chorus

(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I can’t take it no more my best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door

(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I can’t take it no more my best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door


Vamp

Stop (Stop) spreading those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreading the lies
Stop (Stop) spreading those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreading the lies
Stop (Stop) spreading those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreading the lies
Stop (Stop) spreading those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreading the lies
Stop (Stop) spreading those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreading the lies

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
