I've been trying to get a message to you,
|
But the operator can't put me through,
|
Because the vandals went and wrecked all the telephones.
|
And all my enemies are spreading bad news,
|
You won't call me, that's why I'm calling you,
|
To put you straight about the rumors they're spreading about me back home.
|
|
I should have known, sooner or later,
|
You'd get the news, sooner or later,
|
The word of mouth will get right back to you.
|
|
Somehow we lost communication,
|
My only chance in my situation,
|
Is that the word of mouth gets my message through.
|
|
The word of mouth,
|
The word of mouth,
|
But who are they to say the things they do?
|
|
The word of mouth says that I've gone insane,
|
That wine and women have affected my brain.
|
Well who's the big mouth spreading the news again?
|
The word of mouth says I'm round the bend,
|
It's all over, this is the end.
|
Exaggeration sure gets the better of people who send[?].
|
|
The word of mouth,
|
The word of mouth,
|
But who are they to say the things they do?
|
|
The word of mouth said I should be put in my place.
|
The word is out I'm in disgrace -- a waste of space.
|
But if they say it, say it to my face.
|
|
People talking, trying to dig up the dirt,
|
There are so many lies around.
|
They spread their gossip and the rumors around this town.
|
|
Word of mouth, face to face,
|
My word of mouth has stated my case,
|
And I'm saying I'm coming back home to you.
|
|
You should have know sooner or later,
|
You'd get the news sooner or later,
|
The word of mouth will get right back to you.
|
|
The word of mouth,
|
Shut your mouth,
|
Shut your face!
