Somebody Told Me Lyrics – The Killers
Somebody Told Me Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers]
Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm 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
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Oh-oh)
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
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
[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers]
Ready, let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll then I'm leaving without you
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Oh-oh)
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
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
[Bridge: Brandon Flowers]
Pace yourself for me (For me)
I said maybe, baby, please (Please)
But I just don't know now (Maybe, baby)
When all I wanna do is try
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A-rushing, a-rushing around
[Outro: Brandon Flowers]
Oh, 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
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
