RUMOR
Timex Social Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do rumors get started, theyโre started by the jealous people and They get mad seeing something they had and somebody else is holding
They tell me that temptation is very hard to resist but these wicked women, ooh, they just persist
Maybe you think itโs cute, but girl, Iโm not impressed I'll tell you one time only with my business please donโt mess
Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time,
some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I canโt take it no more My
Verse 2
Did you hear the one about Tina, some say sheโs much too loose That came straight from a guy who claims heโs tasted her juice
Did you hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay I tried to
argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldnโt move that way
Did you hear that one about Susan, some say sheโs just a tease In a camisole sheโs six feet
tall, sheโll knock you to your knees
Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time,
some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I canโt take it no more My
best friend said thereโs one out now about me and the girl next door
Verse 3
I canโt go no place without somebody pointing a finger I canโt show my face โcause when
it comes to rumors Iโm a dead ringer
It seems from rumors I just canโt get away I'll bet thereโll even be rumors floating around on Judgment Day
Iโll think Iโll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill So the next time they catch
somebody starting rumors, shoot to kill
Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I canโt take it no more My best friend said
thereโs one out now about me and the girl next door
Bridge
Whatโs mine is mine, I ainโt got time for rumors in my life Iโm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
Whatโs mine is mine, I ainโt got time for rumors in my life Iโm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
Whatโs mine is mine, I ainโt got time for rumors in my life Iโm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I canโt take it no more my best friend said thereโs one out now about me and the girl next door
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from, from all these rumors, I canโt take it no more my best friend said thereโs one out now about me and the girl next door
