Secrets always travel farther than they should
And loose translations float around the neighbourhood
And rumours don't do anyone a bit of good
They just get started, funny you never know
You never know

The first-amendment vigilante attitude
The gospel truth according to the book of Someone said so
The front line grapevine jury's in a nasty mood
You might be guilty, honey you'll never know
You never know

Did you hear about the gossip column
Senate subcommitte probe
The allegations put the neck around your rope
The nominations droolin' on the envelope
A likely story, funny you'll never know
You never know, you never know
You never know
