Have you heard who's kissing him now Do you think he's blue Did he say we're through Has he found someone new Have you seen the way he looks now Does he act the same when he hears my name Does he say who's to blame My arms are empty My nights are long and lonely I miss him so Each new tomorrow can only bring me sorrow I love him so Have you heard of their wedding day Rumors come and go Still I'd like to know If it's true won't you tell me Have you heard Have you heard of their wedding day Rumors come and go Still I'd like to know If it's true won't you tell me Have you heard
