[Verse 1: Martin L. Gore, (Peter Gordeno)]
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
(They know my weaknesses) I never tried to hide them
(They know my weaknesses) I never denied them

[Verse 2: Martin L. Gore, (Peter Gordeno)]
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
How can a view become so twisted?
How can a view become so twisted?
(They know my weaknesses) I never tried to hide them
(They know my weaknesses) You tried them

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore & Peter Gordeno]
I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it’s worth

[Verse 3: Martin L. Gore, (Peter Gordeno)]
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I’ve never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
(They know my weaknesses) I never tried to hide them
(They know my weaknesses) Thought that you liked them
[Interlude]

[Outro: Martin L. Gore]
They know me better than that
"Thank you!"
