[AKB48「根も葉もRumor」歌詞]

[Refrain]
Hey! Whazzup?
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Hey! Whazzup?
Come on, let's do it all night!
Hey! Whazzup?
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Hey! Whazzup?
Keep that beat coming all night!
I know... You know...
Keep dancing all night long

[Verse 1]
ちょっと会ってないうちに見違えるくらい
ルージュが似合う女と呼ばれてたなんて・・・
だってあの頃はまだポニーテールにシュシュ
声なんか掛ける気になれずに素通りしてた

[Pre-Chorus 1]
時はあっという間に過ぎ去り
夢も現実もボーダーレスにしてしまう
心も (ヘイ) 身体も (ヘイ)
委ねて踊ろう

[Chorus 1]
君のRumor Rumor Rumor Oh
I heard the rumor・・・
嘘だと言ってよ
夜明けまで見つめ合えば信じられるかな
恋の Rumor Rumor Rumor Oh
Rumor has it that
ただの噂だろう
分かっていても気になるんだ
好きになったら根も葉もRumor

[Refrain]
Hey! Whazzup?
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Hey! Whazzup?
Come on, let's do it all night!
Hey! Whazzup?
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Hey! Whazzup?
Keep that beat coming all night!
I know... You know...
Keep dancing all night long

[Verse 2]
僕が知ってる君は前髪ぱっつんで
スカート翻しながらいつも走ってた
髪の色も変わっていくつ恋をしたの
ダンスフロアすれ違った時に
良い匂いがした

[Pre-Chorus 2]
ここに来るまでに何があったのか
大人になるってそういうことだって思う
ハッとする (ヘイ) くらいに (ヘイ)
君って綺麗だ

[Chorus 2]
そんなRumor Rumor Rumor Oh
Pick a Rumor・・・
それもどれもこれも
生々しいキスマークが君の人生だ
だからRumor Rumor Rumor Oh
Make a rumor
僕が引き受ける
いつかきっと届くだろう
未来も過去も根も葉もRumor

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus 1]
君のRumor Rumor Rumor Oh
I heard the rumor・・・
嘘だと言ってよ
夜明けまで見つめ合えば信じられるかな
恋の Rumor Rumor Rumor Oh
Rumor has it that
ただの噂だろう
分かっていても気になるんだ
好きになったら根も葉もRumor

[Refrain]
Hey! Whazzup?
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Hey! Whazzup?
Come on, let's do it all night!
Hey! Whazzup?
Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
Hey! Whazzup?
Keep that beat coming all night!
I know... You know...
Keep dancing all night long
