[Verse 1]
I heard a rumour, they travel far
You know what it's like, the way people are
They talk and they talk, though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper and lie on demand

[Chorus]
Please tell me now, I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not so

[Verse 2]
I heard it on Monday and I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday, I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday, my patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday and I hurt inside

[Chorus]
Well I want to know the depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine

[Bridge]
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on my chest
And breathe love, breathe love
Breathe love, breathe love
[Verse 3]
And I heard it from Peter who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone I don't know at all
And I heard it from Mary who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the Bible she's telling the truth
And I heard it from Simon who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah that I was to blame
And I heard it from Joseph who heard it from John
Who said with conviction that all hope was gone

[Chorus]
So I need to know your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye

[Outro]
"Thank you."
