Bad News (Leave Her to Him)

I know you know how it is in this town
The bad news travels fast and the good doesn't get around
Are you gonna sit here with your head in your hands
You better start playin this game like you understand

So what if she's found another and she is out again
You'll find another and you can leave her to him

Loose talk and rumors fill the lives of the bored
The tell their stories and the tally up the scores
When you become a character in this play
You have too invent yourself until you leave the stage

So what if she's found another and she is out again
You'll find another and you can leave her to him

Now the camera's on and you start to move
Like you just found out that she's leaving you
This scene is easy and you throw her a kiss
And the curtain closes like eyelids on a wish

So what if she's found another and she is out again
You'll find another and you can leave her to him
