That's How Rumors Get Started

It's been awhile since I've been on this side of town
I don't cross the river much these days
Haven't been avoiding you, I'm hardly ever around
Sure, we could talk, but what would I say?
And here you are, still doing you
It never worked out but it never stopped you
All I know is every time that your lips are parted
Right behind my back, that's how rumors get started
That's how rumors get started
Word travels faster than a whisper in the wind
Now all the birds are flying south
Black hawks and doves, we are at it once again
And you're talking out of both sides of your mouth
And here you are, still doing you
It never worked out but it never stopped you
All I know is every time that your lips are parted
Right behind my back, that's how rumors get started
That's how rumors get started
You're burning bridges, keeping warm by the fire
But what a lovely glow it makes
I'm growing tired of being your exit fire
Better talk, sleep in the bed of lies that you made
And here you are, still doing you
It never worked out but it never stopped you
All I know is every time that your lips are parted
Right behind my back, that's how rumors get started
That's how rumors get started
That's how rumors get started
That's how rumors get started
