Secrets always travel farther than they should
And loose translations float around the neighborhood
And rumors 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 subcommittee probe?
The allegations put the neck around your rope
The nomination's droolin' on the envelope
A likely story, funny you'll never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
