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
please tell me now
i want to know
i have to hear it from your lips
say it�s not so

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
i want to know
the depths of your mind
tell me this whole thing is madness
and we�re doing fine
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

i heard it from peter
who heard it from paul
who heard it from someone
i don�t know at all
i heard it from mary
who heard it from ruth
who swore on the bible
she�s telling the truth
i heard it from simon
who heard it from james
confirming with sarah
that i was to blame
i heard it from joseph
who heard it from john
who said with conviction
that all hope was gone
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
