Somebody Told Me

(album: Teddy Pendergrass - 1977)

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game...
Breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss...
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight...
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready, let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight...
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushing, a rushing around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please...
But I just don't know now...
When all I wanna do is try

[x3]
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushing, a rushing around
