Heard it from a friend who
heard it from a friend who
heard it from an oth er you’ve been (C)mess ing a round.
They say you’ve got a boy friend,

They’re talk in’ a bout you, and it’s bring in’ me down.
But I think know in’ up the your neigh bor hood, and talk is cheap tin’ when the sto ry is good,
and the tales you’re grow in’ tall er on you down the line.
But I’m tell feel in’ you, babe, If that I don’t think it’s true, babe.
And e ven if it is, keep this in mind: (G)gain.
You take it on the run, ba by.
If that’s the way you want it, ba by, then I don’t want you a round.
I don’t be lieve it,
not for a min ute.
You’re un der the gun, so you take it on the (D)run.
You’re I think know in’ up the your white bor lies.
and talk You’re put tin’ on your bed room is eyes.
and You say you’re com in’ home, er but you won’t say when.
But I can feel it com in’.
If you leave to night, keep run nin’.
And you need if it nev er look back a (G)gain.
You take it on the run, ba by.
If that’s the way you want it, ba by, then I don’t want you a round.
I don’t be lieve it,
not for a min ute.
You’re un der the gun, so you take it on the (D)run.
Heard it from a friend who
heard it from a friend who
heard it from an oth er you’ve been (C)mess ing a round.
