Rumor
K.A.R.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All your friends are trying to leave
You hit me with that one line
I know that you said it 'bout a hundred times
You got me all wrong
Don't you know who
You're talking to?
I heard about you
And what you do
Don't you know the rumors?
They talk about, talk about you, boy
They say that you're never gonna treat me right
I know that your forever's only one night, one night
Don't you know the rumors?
They talk about, talk about me too, boy
I know that your intentions are as bad as mine
So let's pretend forever's only one night, one night
So I hit you with that one line
Tonight you met your match
I hope you realize that
You got me all wrong
Now you know who
You're talking to
You got me all wrong
I heard about you
And what you do
Don't you know the rumors?
They talk about, talk about you, boy
They say that you're never gonna treat me right
I know that your forever's only one night, one night
Don't you know the rumors?
They talk about, talk about me too, boy
I know that your intentions are as bad as mine
So let's pretend forever's only one night, one night
