Track 09 on album The Essentials  (2002)

Who needs friends who never show
I'll tell you what you want to know
I could have saved a broken heart
If I'd found out long ago

(bridge 1)
I'm just thinking about
Those lonely nights
When I waited for your call
'Til I found out
All my friends were right
I didn't know you at all

(chorus)
I heard a rumour
(Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour)
They say you got a broken heart
I heard it
I heard a rumour
(Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy ooh, ooh, ooh

Now it seems they're telling me
You've changed your wicked ways
But should I give you a second chance
Baby, I'm too afraid

(bridge 2)
So you realise what hurt you made
And the love you threw away
How can I forgive or soon forget
It's never gonna be the same

(chorus x 2)

(bridge 1)

(chorus ad lib)
