Rumors


Rumors
I know you’ve heard
The rumors
All of them.
Baby they ain’t true
Listen here, to me
I love you, not her
It was nothing
Nothing like we have
I’ve made mistakes
And so will you
She’ll make hers
I’ll make mine
Just this time,
Forgive me
No more,
Just us
Not him or her
No more
No, No more
The rumors ain’t true girl
You know I’m yours
I know you’re mine
What we said to each other was out of line
You got my heart in a twirl
Just us, no more me plus you, her and him
The rumors weren’t true
Like tumors in your brain,
Gotta get them out your head
Not true
