"Gossip" lyrics

Gossip

Everybody hears
What they want to hear
It makes them feel so big
Secrets in their ears

Gossip
Gonna get you down
You can't stop it
Flying through the town

It's hard to find a friend
That you can talk to
You can count on me
I'll stand beside you

Gossip
Gonna get you down
You can't stop it
Flying through the town

Try so hard
To do what's right
Turn around
And it comes to bite
Woah, gossip
I talk to you
You can talk to me
Don't go to them
And speak for me
Woah, a messenger
Ain't what it used to be
Why did you
Feel the need?
It ain't pretty

I thought that we were tight
You proved that I was wrong
It's hard to find a friend
That you can count on

Gossip
Gonna get your down
You can't stop it
Flying through the town

Now it hurts
When I see your face
It's the kind
That you can't erase
Woah, gossip
I trusted you
And you trusted me
Now I can't tell
You anything
Woah, a messenger
Ain't what it used to be
Why did you
Do this to me?
It ain't pretty

Gossip
Flying through the town
Gossip
You know it's gonna get you down
Gossip
It's flying through the town
Gossip
