Breakin' my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
A breakin' my back just to know your name
But Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
'Cause Heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (hoo hoo)
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

Ready let's roll onto something new
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you
'Cause Heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (hoo hoo)
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

A rushing, rushing around

Pace yourself for me (for me)
I said maybe, baby, please (please)
But I just don't know now (baby, baby)
When all I want to do is try

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

A rushing, rushing around

Now somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

A rushing, rushing around

Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

A rushing, rushing around

    I think Dlewis and and Zaphlin are right. It's hilarious how many people here are saying "Isn't it obvious?" Like everything they say is right. Song interpretation isn't so literal. I mean, geez, do you think Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is about a sparkly girl in the sky? This is also my opinion, but I wanted to look deeper into the lyrics. I think the song is sort of about the high school environment, how rumors run rampant and are just made to hurt people. The part that says "Somebody told me that you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year" Is commenting on how ridiculous rumors get. In my opinion, it's about liking a girl that he gets made fun of for liking and the rumors start getting to him ("Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight") Does anyone agree?
