As rumors fly on high
and miss the New York stars
the words hit hearts,

Rumors all over town
the envy eyes
blasted my name out
with so much hast,

Gossip is an old game
to make one lose their way
delicious and dangerous lies
the scandal of precious secrets,

Hold in your mind
your dangerous heart could not
stop the heated up sparks
of the oldest lines of lies,

Old rumors fly on high
to the envy eyes
of the hater's smile
with daggers to your heart,

Rumors that **** the spirit
it will take you down quick
not one word do they miss.
