hey you
my sources never refuse
reveal so much but they never will repeat us
hey you
i’ve got the bigtime blues
slinking around cuz they never will defeat us
ooo, i heard the loveliest news today…
she’s drowning in her sorrows
and they never even knew
i listen in on what the neighbors say
they discuss so much
but they’re not like us
no, they’re nothing like us
hey you
have you heard the news?
i’m glancing at the headline but refusing to believe it
burning down the house just as i lace up my shoes
cuz those that know their histories are destined to repeat it
ooo, she was my lady in disguise
she told the loveliest lies
but when i looked in her eyes
she was my front page news
she sounded kinda dumb but i knew she wouldn’t cheat us…
OUTRO:
(o…old time ho waving bye bye…)
