Friends tell friends and pretty soon everybody knows

It was only yesterday that you said goodbye
But today everybody knows as well as I
Bad news spreads like wild fire and that's what I've been told
Friends tell friends and pretty soon everybody knows

Friends tell friends so no one's in the dark
Everybody knows I've got a broken heart
I guess the whole wide world will know that you made my teardrops flow
Friends tell friends and pretty soon everybody knows

[ piano ]
Everybody knows we're through all over town
Ain't it funny but where it sure got around
I didn't have to tell no one I guess that it shows
Friends tell friends and pretty soon everybody knows

Friends tell friends so no one's in the dark...
Friends tell friends and pretty soon everybody knows
