Song Lyrics

The rumor in the street, baby, girl,
Is that you're leavin' me.
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me?

Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me.
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me?

Everybody's talkin', and the word is on the street,
That you're playin' games, and sayin' things like you're leavin' me.
I don't know just what to do, after all the things that we've been through.
It should have come to you, and thought that you won't play just like a fool.

Your so-called girlfriends would never lie on you. (No, no.)
So everything they say, girl, it must be true.
You got me lying here, oh, baby, by myself.
The rumor in the street, you're with somebody else.

The rumor in the street, baby, girl,
Is that you're leavin' me. (The rumor in the street is that you're leavin' me.)
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me? (After all I done for you, my, my, my, baby.)

Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me. (All your girlfriends said that you're leavin' me.)
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me? (Oh, yeah... Yeah.)

Now you got another lover tryin' to take my place.
You can try to hide it all you want, it's written on your face.
Now I'm sad and lonely 'cause I thought I was your only,
But you run behind my back, now tell me how you gonna act?

You had those proper things and, baby, diamond rings;
Anything for you, oh, girl, I would do.
Now I'm lying here, oh, baby, by myself.
The rumor in the street, you're with somebody else.

The rumor in the street, baby, girl,
Is that you're leavin' me. (The rumor in the street is that you're leavin' me.)
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me? (After all I done for you, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.)

Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me. (All your girlfriends said that you're leavin' me.)
After all I've done for you... (Oh, baby.)
How could you leave me?


(Yeah, yeah.)
Yeah, yeah, oh...

The rumor in the street, baby, girl,
Is that you're leavin' me. (The rumor in the street is that you're leavin' me.)
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me? (How could you leave me? Oh, yeah...)

Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me. (All your girlfriends said that you're leavin' me, oh, yes, they are.)
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me? (How could you leave me, girl, oh...)

The rumor in the street, baby, girl,
Is that you're leavin' me. (The rumor in the street is that you're leavin' me.)
After all I've done for you,
How could you leave me?
