The Story

My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things

But I know what they're thinking and so do you

'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true

All the things they're saying about you



If you had something on your mind, I know you'd say

'Cause you always said if we had problems, we would find the way

But do you know you haven't said much lately and you look a little pale

Guess that something on your mind or are you just unwell



My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things

But I know what they're thinking and so do you

'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true

All the things they're saying about you



It's nice in times of trouble, to have a friend around

But I need some time alone with you, I'm sure he wouldn't mind

So let's sit by the fire, just you and me alone

And you can cook a special meal, and I'll go buy some wine



My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things

But I know what they're thinking and so do you

'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true

All the things they're saying about you



I'm beginning to get the picture, it's all becoming clear

Why'd you have to do it, did you have to make it here

You can't mean what you're saying, tell me it's not true

It wouldn't be so hard if I didn't love you



My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things

But I know what they're thinking and so do you

'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true

All the things they're saying about you



All the things they're saying about you
