The Rumour

(olivia newton-john/randy goodrum)

Someone's in the kitchen
Trying to cook me up some trouble
Someone's in the kitchen
Trying to stir me up inside
He's been itching to try and burst my bubble
All this friction is killing my appetite

Get out--if you can't take it
Get out--if you can't take the heat
Throw your dirty looks out with the garbage
Humble pie is one thing i won't eat

Just because you're laid off at the office
Just because it's now all up to me
You're forgetting all the things you promised
It's the age of equal opportunity

Get out--if you can't take it
Get out--if you can't take the heat
Throw your dirty looks out with the garbage
Humble pie is one thing i won't eat

Oh--the kids are fine
We should use this time
To make some plans
Oh--i know it hurts
With our roles reversed
But darling you'll be a better man

Yes i know it's hard to do the laundry
Yes i know it's hard to mind the kids
It doesn't matter who does what, we're family
I'm just working to keep us off the skids

Get out--if you can't take it
Get out--if you can't take the heat
Throw your dirty looks out with the garbage
Humble pie is one thing i won't eat
Get out--if you can't take it
Get out--if you can't take the heat
Throw your dirty looks out with the garbage
Humble pie is one thing i won't eat
Humble pie is one thing i won't eat
Humble pie is one thing i won't eat... no

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door

Baby, oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word i said
You know that i love you
Can't we talk it over in bed

I never meant to hurt you
I must have been out of my head
Tell me you still want me
Can't we talk it over in bed

Talk, talk, talk it over
Talk,let's talk it out baby

Harsh words are spoken
Promises are broken
Old wounds are opened
And love walks out that door

Too proud to make up
You're ready to break up
Too late you'll wake up
And love walks out that door
Out that door

Baby, oh sweet baby
Won't let you walk out that door

Come on a little closer
Can't we just forgive and forget
Everything seems to work out
When we talk it over in bed

Too much time apart
We need a little heart to heart

Can't sleep without you baby
Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby
Don't end the night this way
Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby
Oh sweet baby
I didn't mean a word i said
You know that i love you

Two lovers watch the news
They've got more than love to lose
As they lay there under cover
Do they really know each other

There's a whisper in the air
Don't you feel a little scared
The stakes are too high
Some have even lost a friend
And we're nowhere near the end
It doesn't help to moralize

The search is not the same now
It's more than just a game now
Love and let live
It can thrill you --fulfil you
But lately it can kill you
Love and let live
A little information's
Not too much to give
We've got to tell lovers
How to love and let live

Do you think it over twice
At the edge of paradise
If you're not really sure
Use and ounce of prevention
'cause there's still no cure

So you smile and say to me
It's not my responsibility
You better change your attitude
Did you ask your lover who
Who was there ahead of you
You need to know the truth

The search is not the same now
It's more than just a game now
Love and let live
It can thrill you --fulfil you
But lately it can kill you
Love and let live
A little information's
Not too much to give
We've got to tell lovers
How to love and let live

I have found the one for me
We share our love exclusively
But we're all affected
'cause we're all connected
We're a family

Love and let live
A little information's
Not too much to give
We've got to tell lovers
Love and let live

Darling don't you ride so fast
Don't you want to try to make this thing last
Tell me how can i prove
I'd walk through fire

I know you've had a very hard time
No i don't know the facts but i've seen it in your eyes
And this much is true
I'd walk through fire for you

We both have reason to be afraid
But a choice has been made
No love is written in stone
But i'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh--i'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
'cos i know you'd do the same for me

Oh baby let's run away
Let's break up some other day
Write love songs and lullabies
Make love while the skies go by
I want to prove
I'll walk through fire for you

We both have reason to be afraid
But a choice has been made
No love is written in stone
But i'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh--i'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
'cos i know you'd do the same for me

Flame destroy a love
Flame make it stronger
Forge a blade of love
And satisfy my hunger
So we're afraid of love
I can't hide any longer
We'll find the courage as we go

Let the little boys pretend
That they're some kind of supermen
With tough talk and alibis
And flags to defend
Things too young for us to do
But i'll walk through fire for you

We both have reason to be afraid
But a choice has been made
No love is written in stone
But i'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh--i'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
Maybe someday we'll walk through fire
Through fire
Oh--i'll walk through fire for you
Through fire
'cos i know you'd do the same for me

This is the last time
I'll look across this table
And try to face a feeling i don't even recognize
This is a sad hand
That reached across and touched you
When all we'd built around us came crashing to the ground

There was a tide turning
Somewhere deep inside us
When all these years together seem lost behind my tears
Oh there were good times
But in between the dog days
I felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears

But i still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers
But you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past

As the rain falls
I listen to the radio
And try to memorize the words to "georgia on my mind"
But we're no old song
We never stood the test of time
The lies inside the rumour left trust so far behind

But i still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers
But you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past

And when we say goodbye
Be sure to look me in the eye
And know the real secret
Was the thing we didn't have to hide

But i still tried to love you
I still tried to care
Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers
But you can't fight the rumour
You can't argue with you heart, no
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past
Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads
The truth is just a thing of, it's just a thing of
The truth is just a thing of the past
