Ooh, yeah (word is out)
Now word is out (innocence)
Word is out (over town)
Now the word is out (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)
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, over town
Now the word is out (the word is out)
It's all over town

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
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
