It’s a guilty pleasure when I’m off track
Talkin’ bout him behind his back
So seductive, feels so nice
I forget: there’s a price
Let me tell you something really juicy
Chris is back together with Lucy
And you won’t believe what I heard about Jenn
Tyler told me she’s drinking again
Chorus:
Is this really what my life is for?
I don’t want to do this any more
Rumors are tumors that doom the consumer!
Jack just had a panic attack
And Megan’s mom, she’s on crack
Liam’s a liar and a cheat
But I loved his hilarious, toxic tweet
Chorus
It’s second nature, so routine
We’re not trying to be mean
We can really make a mess
From just one moment of unconsciousness
Gossip comes from some kind of lack
Let’s be conscious when we yack
Let’s remember, life’s a gift
Let’s make a choice to uplift
Then we will remember what we’re for:
Giving love without keeping score
Rumors are tumors that doom the consumer!
Spoken: There’s a big price for this little vice (2x)
Let’s make a choice, what we voice
Let’s make a choice to rejoice
Life’s a gift. Let’s uplift! (2x)
