Hearsay

Lyrics

Ever since we've been together You've been buggin' me about Another woman Yes you have I'm gettin' sick and tired Of bein' accused I'm gonna make it through, honey Yes I am But when I come home from work I can hardly Close my eyes You keep buggin' me and naggin' me about Some hearsay and jive Ohhh, yeah yeah... You've never seen me do nothin' wrong When I get my check I bring it home And you still runnin' me with that He said, she said, you did it All this gossip going around in this neighborhood Oh yeah! Neighbors talkin' about neighbors And that's no good No it ain't, baby And you tellin' me about what Shirley said Honey, that ain't true But did Shirley tell you What she was really tryin' to do? I know she didn't, baby She was tryin' to get me To go to the Holiday Inn And she's supposed to be your so-called friend And you're still runnin' to me With that he-said, she-said, you did it [Female:] You know you keep tellin' me about how tired you are Well I'm the one that's tired of that hearsay jive, baby Every time I walk out of my door, I'm staring Shirley right in the face And she's tellin' me about some woman you were with the night before [Male:] Look here, I don't care nothin' about what Shirley said, you know? Hey, and I don't worry 'bout what the preacher said, it wasn't nothin' about honor, and-and, you know, faith, and things You gonna have faith in me, you know? I'm your man [Female:] But Shirley's my best friend [Male:] Look here, lemme tell ya somethin' I don't want her comin' over to my house no more. I don't want her comin' over Hey, I guess I'm tellin' ya, I don't want it I don't want it. It's okay, just here, look, look... You never seen me do nothin' wrong When I get my check I bring it home And you still runnin' to me with that He said, she said, you did it That's a lie, baby! I can't take no more, no! They're tryin' to break up our happy home You know, honey, I would do you no wrong That hearsay jive, ain't nothin' but talk They're tryin' get me to pack my bags and walk That hearsay jive don broke up a lot of homes Oh, that hearsay jive will make you do things wrong...
