[C] Heard it from a friend who?
[D] Heard it from another [G] you've been messing around

[G] They say you got a boyfriend
[C] You're late every weekend
[D] They're talking about you and [G] explaining it down
But I know the neighborhood
[C] And talk is cheap when the story is good
[D] And the tales grow taller on down the [G] line
But I'm telling you babe

[C] If you leave tonight keep [D] running
And you need never look [G] back again
