rumours in the air

used to call me

by my first name

now you never even call me at all

used to say

i was your only flame

it was so simple

i believed it all

now i hear

you've got a new friend and lover

who keeps you warm

on the cool cool nights

there's a rumor in the air

don't seem right

rumours in the air

like a thief in the night

taking more than their share

taking more than their right

rumors in the air

like a thief in the night

rumours

rumors in the air

used to call me

when you felt the pain

now you never even feel it at all

used to swear

that we would never change

and like a fool

i believed it all

now you say

you had a weekend of trouble

as you stare me down

with those cool cool eyes

there's a rumor in the air

don't seem right

rumours in the air

like a thief in the night

taking more than their share

taking more than their right

rumors in the air

like a thief in the night

rumours rumours

rumors in the air

used to call me

by my first name

now you never even call me at all

now you say

that i'm the one to blame

doesn't matter

how i feel at all

well i hear

you've got a new friend and lover

you'll take him down

it's so plain to see

well there's a rumor in the air

killing me

rumours in the air

like a thief in the night

taking more than their share

taking more than their right

rumors in the air

like a thief in the night

rumours rumours

rumors in the air

rumors in the air
