Word Is Out

Ooh, yeah (the word is out)
Now word is out
Innocence
Word is out, over town
Now the word is out (the word is out)
Now the word is out, the word is out

You're clinging to a lie
Still, you hope to try and save your face, ooh
It's a no-win situation
There ain't gonna be a saving grace
Because you're sticking to a story
It really makes no sense
No judge or jury could ignore the evidence

Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
(Now the word is out, the word is out)
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
(Now the word is out, the word is out)

Ain't but one redeeming feature
So you may as well accept your fate (accept your fate)
Ooh-ooh
You can't wriggle out of this, it's gone too far
It's much too late (it's much too late)
But it's funny, my suspicions lead me to the lie
From the friend of a so-called friend
I heard about your double life

Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
(Now the word is out, the word is out)
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
(Now the word is out, the word is out)

Ooh, yeah
Because the word is out
(Can't go on pretending) innocence
(The word is out) the word is out
(Yeah-eh) over town
It's all over town

Because the word is out, ooh-ooh
I can't go on believing in your innocence (word is out)
The word is out (oh, yeah)
You can't go on pretending, it's all over town (ooh, ooh, -oh-ooh)
(The word is out) because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence (oh-oh)
(The word is out, the word is out) the word is out
You can't go on pretending, it's all over town
