Rumours in Town Lyrics

we've always been more than just good friends, but you know we've never been an item
and when he hurts you girl, come around here to spite him

i don't know anything but i've heard all the rumours in town,
there's trouble in paradise, your heart is gonna pay the price

we've always said things we didn't mean but now we say them more and more
so when i say to you i'm getting bored like i was before

i don't know anything but the word is getting around,
there's trouble in paradise, your heart is gonna pay the price

there's nothing wrong with us you're just self absorbed
it was in your shadow but they don't know

i don't know everything but i've heard all the rumours in town,
there's trouble in paradise, your heart is gonna pay the price

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
