Lyrics

The news

She?s got a wiggle in her walk, man
It swings from getting love to getting what she needs
And we?re a dirty little secret
I call it lucky cross my heart and take the lead

A little superstitious but thank god I?m not religious
Crossed my fingers in confession cause I couldn?t quite admit it
I?m weak in her invention for the friend she dared to mention
Bearing clues to help me choose her
While she feigned a moral question

Chorus:
So tell me that we?re fine
Take it back, take it back
I don?t believe it
I got the news from a friend, I got the news from a friend

You say that you're onside
Then take it back, take it back
I don?t believe it
I got the news from a friend, I got the news from a friend

She took me to her secret island
If we?re just talking baby why?d you shut the door?
Is it because you really like me better,
Or is it cause you really hate to be ignored?

She?s looking so delicious but she?s glamorous and vicious
By the time I got her top off I had used up my three wishes
The guilt that lay within her was relinquished to the winner
Whispered how she?s not a saint, that?s great cause I prefer a sinner

So tell me that we?re fine
Take it back, take it back
I don?t believe it
I got the news from a friend, I got the news from a friend

You say that you're onside
Take it back, take it back
I don?t believe it
I got the news from a friend, I got the news from a friend

Don?t think, don?t start
Acting really smart
You gotta take it from your heart
You gotta get it in your head now!

Don?t think, don?t start
Acting really smart
You gotta take it from your heart
You gotta get it in your head now!
