Watching you glide towards me dear
Oh oh oh, it's clear
Rumor was wrong
We were right
Oh oh oh, my love
You heard it wrong we were alright
Though your ears may hear it all my friend
Rumor has it, rumor has it wrong
And though your eyes may see it happening
Rumor has it rumor has it wrong
Watching you walk toward me sweet
Oh so complete
Rumor was wrong
We were right
Clutching your coat as we depart
Oh oh oh, my heart
You heard it wrong
We were right
Rumor had it wrong
Rumor had it wrong
And we had it right
We're talking about it
Rumor had it wrong....
