Answer
You are looking for TIMEX SOCIAL CLUB's 1986 smash hit RUMORS. It was from their album VICIOUS RUMORS and it was their lone single to make it to the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It went to No. 8 on August, 1986. Here's its lyrics:

RUMORS / Timex Social Club

Verse 1
How do rumors get started, they’re started by the jealous people and They get mad seeing something they had and somebody else is holding They tell me that temptation is very hard to resist But these wicked women, ooh, they just persist Maybe you think it’s cute, but girl, I’m not impressed I'll tell you one time only with my business please don’t mess

Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door

Verse 2

Did you hear the one about Tina, some say she’s much too loose That came straight from a guy who claims he’s tasted her juice Did you hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay I tryed to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn’t move that way Did you hear that one about Susan, some say she’s just a tease In a camisole she’s six feet tall, she’ll knock you to your knees

Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door

Verse 3
I can’t go no place without somebody pointing a finger I can’t show my face ‘cause when it comes to rumors I’m a dead ringer It seems from rumors I just can’t get away I'll bet there’ll even be rumors floating around on Judgment Day I’ll think I’ll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill So the next time they catch somebody starting rumors, shoot to kill


Chorus
(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door


Bridge

What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life (Look at all these rumors) I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life What’s mine is mine, I ain’t got time for rumors in my life (Look at all these rumors) I’m a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life


Chorus

(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door

(When you) look at all these rumors surrounding me every day I just need some time, some time to get away from From all these rumors, I can’t take it no more My best friend said there’s one out now about me and the girl next door
