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

Everybody`s talkin` and the word is on the street
That you`re playin` games and sayin` things like you`re leavin` me [Mmm]
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 [Mmm, hmm]

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

Now you got another lover tryin` to take my place
You can try to hide it all you want, it`s written [Mmm] on your face [Mmm]
Now I`m sad and lonely because 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 wouldn`t do [Uh-huh]
