Rumor
Lee Brice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many nights we hung out together
Same little crowd, little bar, little town
'Round this old dance floor
My boys are laughing and tap me on the shoulder
Making a motion like, "Could y'all get any closer?"
They wanna know what's up why I'm still holding ya
Even when the song is over
There's a rumor going 'round about me and you
Stirring up our little town the last week or two
So tell me why we even trying to deny this feeling
I feel it, don't you feel it too?
There's a rumor going 'round, and 'round, and 'round
What d'you say we make it true?
We make it true
Oh, we make it true, yeah
Well, I can shut 'em down, tell 'em all they're crazy
I can do whatever you want me to do, baby
Or you could lay one on me right now
We could really give 'em something to talk about
There's a rumor going 'round about me and you
Stirring up our little town the last week or two
So tell me why we even trying to deny this feeling
I feel it, don't you feel it too?
There's a rumor going 'round, and 'round, and 'round
What d'you say we make it true, baby?
Oh, be honest, girl, now
Do you wanna do this or not?
Should we keep 'em talking, girl
Or should we just make 'em stop?
There's a rumor going 'round, ha, about me and you
Stirring up our little town the last week or two
Oh, tell me why we even trying to deny this feeling
I feel it and you feel it too
There's a rumor going 'round, and 'round, and 'round
What d'you say we make it
Make it true
What d'you say we make it true, yeah?
Come on over here
Let's really give 'em something to talk about, baby
(Talk about, baby) There's a rumor going 'round
In Lee Brice's song "Rumor," the singer and the girl he's known for a long time are being talked about in their small town. They have been hanging out together for years with the same crowd, going to the same bar, and dancing on the same dance floor. The singer's boys are teasing him, wondering why he's still holding the girl even when the song is over. There is a rumor going around about them which has been stirring up their little town for the last week or two. The singer is not denying his feelings, and he wants to make this rumor true. He suggests that they could give their town something to talk about by being honest and giving in to their feelings.
Despite the rumors, the singer and the girl have been denying their feelings towards each other, but the singer just cannot resist anymore. He can shut down the rumors by denying everything, but why not make this rumor come true? He gives the girl a choice if she wants to do this or not. They can either keep the town talking or make them stop by going public with their relationship. They have been holding back their feelings for too long already.
Overall, the song is a romantic and playful tune that explores the fantasy of being the talk of the town - giving into our desires, and not caring what others say or think about our choices of love.

I love his mix of gospel, old school country and new school country. His lyrics is always relevant and sound like they're in the moment and happening right in front of him. He is a classic story teller.
@JuggaletteLover18
Is it just me or does Lee Brice seem to get more attractive with age? Also, this song is really good. ^-^ I'm not one for dedicating songs to anyone. But I can't help but think of someone as I listened to this song. :3
@TayLavTal
Great Song! :)
Lee Brice is by far one of the most expressive country artist today!
He never fails with that voice, & the passion.
