Scandal Lyrics
[Intro]
Tee-dee-ra-ra-ra-ra
Tee-dee-ree-ree-ree-ree-ree-ra-ra
Too-roo-roo-roo-roo-roo
Roo-roo-roo-roo-roo-roo-roo
[Verse 1]
Scandal
Now you've left me, all the world's gonna know
Hey, scandal
They're gonna turn our lives into a freak show
[Refrain]
They'll see the heartache, they'll see the love break
They'll hear me pleadin', we'll say for God sakes
Over and over and over again
[Verse 2]
Scandal
Now you've left me, there's no healin' the wounds
Hey, scandal
And all the world can make us out to be fools
[Refrain]
Here come the bad news, open the flood gates
They'll leave us bleeding, we say, “You cheapskates!”
Over and over and over again
[Verse 3]
So let them know when they stare, it's just a private affair
They'll have us hung in the air, and tell me what do they care
[Bridge]
It's only a life to be twisted and broken
They'll see the heartache, they'll see our love break, yeah!
They'll hear me pleadin', I'll say for God sakes
Over and over and over and over again, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
(Scandal) (Scandal)
(Scandal) (Scandal)
Yes, you're breakin' my heart again
(Scandal) Yes, you're lovin' on out again
[Bridge]
Today, the headlines, tomorrow, hard times
And no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies
And in the end, the story deeper must hide
Deeper and deeper and deeper inside!
[Outro]

It was very painful, we did get...
