Well I know that you can talk about the things that I said   And it really doesn’t matter what I say anyway   And I think that you should understand, word gets around      You’ve been talking round again anything   You been talking around me and I don’t care   All I ever wanna hear is ‘word gets around’      [chorus]   Word gets around, that’s all they say   We can’t escape, don’t matter what they say      Talking to you I admit to you I’m paralysed   That the things that you were saying are never in line   All I know ever how to say was ‘word gets around’      Only thoughts of you is that I am a man   And I wouldn’t even know what to do with your hand   All I ever how to do ‘word gets around’      [chorus] [x3]      ‘word gets around’ yeah!
