[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]
