[INTRO:]

Ooh yeah

Now word is out

The 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



[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)



[2:]

Ain't but one redeeming feature

So you may as well accept your fate

(Accept your fate), ooh

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:]



Ooh yeah

Because the word is out

Can't go on pretending

Innocence

The word is out

The word is out

Yeah

Over town

Now the word is out (the word is out)

It's all over town



[CHORUS:]

[repeat & fade]
