[Intro]
Ooh, yeah (word is out)
Now word is out (innocence)
Word is out (over town)
Now the word is out (word is out)
Now the word is out, the word is out
[Verse 1]
You're clinging to a lie
Still you hope to try and save your face, ooh
It's a no-win situation
There ain't gonna be a saving grace
Because you're sticking to a story
It really makes no sense
No judge or jury could ignore the evidence
[Chorus]
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
Now the word is out, the word is out
[Verse 2]
Ain't but one redeeming feature
So you may as well accept your fate (accept your fate)
You can't wriggle out of this, it's gone too far
It's much too late (it's much too late)
But it's funny my suspicions lead me to the lie
From the friend of a so-called friend
I heard about your double life
[Chorus]
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
Now the word is out, the word is out
[Bridge]
Ooh, yeah, because the word is out
(Can't go on pretending) innocence
(The word is out) the word is out, over town
Now the word is out (the word is out)
It's all over town
[Chorus]
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
Now the word is out, the word is out
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
Ooh, yeah (word is out)
Now word is out (innocence)
Word is out (over town)
Now the word is out (word is out)
Now the word is out, the word is out
[Verse 1]
You're clinging to a lie
Still you hope to try and save your face, ooh
It's a no-win situation
There ain't gonna be a saving grace
Because you're sticking to a story
It really makes no sense
No judge or jury could ignore the evidence
[Chorus]
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
Now the word is out, the word is out
[Verse 2]
Ain't but one redeeming feature
So you may as well accept your fate (accept your fate)
You can't wriggle out of this, it's gone too far
It's much too late (it's much too late)

[Chorus]
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
Now the word is out, the word is out
[Bridge]
Ooh, yeah, because the word is out
(Can't go on pretending) innocence
(The word is out) the word is out, over town
Now the word is out (the word is out)
It's all over town
[Chorus]
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
Now the word is out, the word is out
Because the word is out
I can't go on believing in your innocence
Now the word is out, the word is out
The word is out, you can't go on pretending, it's all over town
