[Verse 1]
There's a nasty rumor that's goin' 'round
People think that you and
You and I are goin' down
They insist that we're more
More than just friends
So I'm gonna stick around until this movie ends
[Chorus]
I'm gonna leave it up to Sister Fate
Destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of you and me
Sister Fate
Destiny
One day
We're gonna be together
Wait and see
Wait and see
[Verse 2]
There's an awful story that's in the news
People say that I'm
I'm in love with you
If they knew the real truth
They'd probably die
I could never do nothin' to live up to those lies
[Chorus]
I'm gonna leave it up to Sister Fate
Destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of you and me
Sister Fate
Destiny
One day we're gonna be together
Wait and see
Wait and see
[Breakdown]

[Verse 3]
There's a nasty rumor that's going 'round

[Chorus]
I'm gonna leave it up to Sister Fate
Destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of you and me
Sister Fate
Destiny
One day we're gonna be together
Wait and see
Wait and see
Wait and see, oh
