Lyrics
VERSE: The new guy still ain't back from lunch and Sally's missing too
You call your best friend up & you speculate bout a low-rent rendezvous
You say I saw them at the corner table down at the Dew Drop Inn
Soup and salad don't take two hours - know what I mean girlfriend
You never let it cross your mind there might be another reason why
You just go ahead and let it fly
CHORUS: Rumor boomerang
When you bend the truth about anything
It's a dangerous thing to do
Cause it could come right back on you
Rumor boomerang
VERSE: Your friend sees Sally's cousin's husband down at the grocery store
He tells his wife she calls Sally now guess who's pounding on your door
Sally says Tell me to my face what you're talking behind my back
Sure he's cute and sure we stayed late but here's the big newsflash
I just called Bill to tell him 'bout the nasty things you do
'Cause at lunch all he could talk about was you
BRIDGE: If you'd just listen to your conscience panging
You wouldn't have to worry about those rumors boomeranging
