Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around

They say you got a boy friend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line

But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind


[Refrain:]
You take it on the run baby

If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it

Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run


You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when

But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again


[Refrain x3]


Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
