Rumors Lyrics


The rumor in the street, baby girl
Is that you're leavin' me
After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?
Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me
After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?Everybody's talkin'
And the word is on the street
That you're playin' games
And sayin' things like you're leavin' meI don't know just what to do
All the things that we've been through
It should have come to you
And thought that you won't play just like a foolYour so-called girlfriends would never lie on you
So everything they say, girl, it must be true
You got my lying here, oh, baby, by myself
The rumor in the street, you're with somebody elseThe rumor in the street, baby, girl
Is that you're leavin' me

After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?
Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me
After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?Now you got another lover tryin' to take my place
You can try to hide it all you want, it's written on your face
Now I'm sad and lonely 'cause I thought I was your only
But you run behind my back, now tell me how you gonna actYou had those proper things and, baby, diamond rings
Anything for you, oh, girl, I wouldn't do
Now I'm lying here, oh, baby, by myself
The rumor in the street, you're with somebody elseThe rumor in the street, baby, girl
Is that you're leavin' me
After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?
Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me
After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?The rumor in the street, baby, girl
Is that you're leavin' me
After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?
Baby, all your girlfriends say
That you're leavin' me
After all I've done for you
How could you leave me?The rumor in the street, baby, girl
Is that you're leavin' me

Keith Sweat (born Keith Crier on July 22, 1961 in Harlem, New York), is a popular R&B/soul singer, songwriter, record producer and a major contributor to the New jack swing era. Before becoming a recording artist, Sweat worked for the commodities market in the New York Mercantile Exchange. He sang at nightclubs throughout New York City until he was discovered and offered a recording contract with Elektra Records in 1987.

Make It Last Forever era: 1985-1993

Sweat started his musical career as a member of a well known Harlem band called "Jamilah" in 1975. With the help of Jamilah, Sweat was able to hone his craft as a lead singer by performing regionally throughout the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The group was started by Larry Peebles, a talented bass player from 116th Street and Lenox Avenue, and included several members who came in and out of the group; among those included was Gregory Ross, a well known Harlem keyboard player who currently lives and works in the Los Angeles area.

On November 25, 1987, Sweat released his debut album Make It Last Forever, which sold three million copies. The biggest hit from this album was "I Want Her" (#1 R&B/#5 Pop), and the title track from the album was hit #2 on the R&B charts.

Sweat continued to chart fairly well with his sophomore album I'll Give All My Love To You, which hit #6 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Keep It Comin debuted in the Top 20 of the album chart.
