Songwriter: Pete Waterman Mike Stock

[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

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
