Hearsay - The Soul Children

作词：John Colbert/Norman West

作曲：John Colbert/Norman West

Ever since we've been together

You've been buggin' me about another woman

Yes you have

I'm gettin' sick and tired of bein' accused

I'm gonna make it through honey yes I am

But when I come home from work

I can hardly close my eyes

You keep buggin' me and naggin' me about

Some hearsay and jive oh yeah yeah

You've never seen me do nothin' wrong

When I get my check I bring it home

And you still run into me with that

He said she said you did it

In this neighborhood

Oh yeah neighbors talkin' about neighbors

And that's no good no it ain't baby

And you pester me about what Shirley said

Honey that ain't true

But did Shirley tell you

What she was really tryin' to do

I know she didn't baby

She was tryin' to get me to go to the Holiday Inn

And she's supposed to be your so-called friend

And you're still runnin' to her

With that he-said she-said you did it

You know you keep tellin' me

About how tired you are

Well I'm the one that's tired

Of that hearsay jive baby

Every time I walk out of my door

I'm staring Shirley right in the face

And she's tellin' me about some woman

You were with the night before

Look here

I don't care about what Shirley said you know

Hey and the preacher said wasn't nothin' about honor

And-and you know faith and things

You better have faith in me you know

I'm your man

But Shirley's my best friend

Look here lemme tell ya somethin'

I don't want her comin' over to my house no more

I don't want her comin' over

Hey I guess I'm tellin' ya I don't want it

I don't want it it's okay

Just here look look

You never seen me do nothin' wrong

When I get my check I bring it home

And you still run into me with that

He said she said you did it

Never mind baby I can't take no more no

Think about it I'll be home

You know honey I will do you no wrong

That hearsay jive ain't nothin' but talk

They're tryin' to get me to pack my bags

And walk that hearsay jive is

Oh that hearsay jive will make you do things wrong
