We Had It Right
K. D. Lang · Other Songs - K. D. Lang
Oh, oh, oh, it's clear
Rumor was wrong, we were right
Swathed in all white as if a dove
Oh, oh, oh, my love
You heard it wrong, we're alright
Though your ears may hear it all, my friend
Rumor has it, rumor has it wrong
And though your eyes may see it happening
Rumor has it, rumor has it wrong
Watching you walk towards me, sweet
Oh, so complete
Rumor was wrong, we're alright
Clutching your coat as we depart
Oh, oh, oh, my heart
You heard it wrong, we're alright
Rumor had it wrong
Rumor had it wrong
And we had it right
Quit talking about it
Rumor had it wrong
(Rumor had it wrong)
Rumor
(Rumor had it wrong, they had it wrong)
Rumors they had it, that was wrong
Rumor had it wrong
