Newsy Neighbors Songtext
von Double Exposure

Well, well, well
Newsy neighbors
Hey, hey
(Newsy neighbors)
Wanna talk about (always asking for favors)
Yes, they are

They always drop by around five
Eat you out of house and home (house and home)
Soon as your back is turned
They try to get in your home (in your home)
They intrude on your privacy
Oh, but they don′t give a damn about you or me
Watch 'em smile in your company
Oh, they try to cover up their own jealousy (jealous-jealous-jealousy, oh, baby)

Newsy neighbors (newsy neighbors)
Always asking for favors (what you do, watch out)
Newsy neighbors (yeah)
Always asking for favors (come on, ya′ll)


They tell you how to live you life
When they can't even live their own (live their own)
Minding everybody's affairs and gossiping on the phone (on the phone)
They borrow money from your cookie jar
But they hoping that they′ll come and repossess your car
They tell you what you can and can′t afford
Instead of getting a Caddy, they say, "get a little Ford", oh, oh, oh (get a ford)

Newsy neighbors (I wanna tell the world)
Always asking for favors (yes, they are, ya'll)
Newsy neighbors (I wanna tell the world)
Always asking for favors

Newsy neighbors (even tryna get my precious time)
Always asking for favors (check me in, check my out)
Newsy neighbors
Always asking for favors (tryna look inside of me, I don′t need nobody like that, ya'll)

They borrow money from your cookie jar
But they hoping that they′ll come and repossess your car (repossess your car)
They tell you what you can and can't afford
Instead of getting a Caddy, they say, get, get, get a Ford (get a ford)

Newsy neighbors (talking about those)
Always asking for favors (that′s what they do, ya'll, ya'll, ya′ll)
Newsy neighbors (wanna check me in, check me out)
Always asking for favors (yes, they are, ya′ll)


Newsy neighbors (always dropping 'round about five, ya′ll)
Always asking for favors (wanna check me in, check me out)
Newsy neighbors (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Always asking for favors (newsy neighbors)

Newsy neighbors (asking for favors, favors, favors)
Always asking for favors (wanna see what you can do)
Newsy neighbors (but you know they're even jealous too)
Always asking for favors (check me in, check me out)

Newsy neighbors, neighbors (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Newsy neighbors, neighbors (talking about those losin′, losin', losin′, losin' neighbors)
Newsy neighbors, neighbors (can you spill that? Can you?)
(Can you give it just a little, just a little more time)
Newsy neighbors, neighbors (my baby, newsy neighbors)

Newsy neighbors, neighbors (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Newsy neighbors, neighbors (newsy, newsy, newsy)
(Oh, neighbors tryna, tryna look and see what they can see)
Newsy neighbors, neighbors (oh, yeah, newsy, talking about those newsy neighbors, ah-ah)

Newsy neighbors (always, always, ya'll, ya′ll, ya′ll)
Always asking for favors (yes, they are, yes, they are)
Newsy neighbors (I wanna talk about the newsy neighbors)
Always asking for favors (always asking for favors and favours and favours and favors, ya'll)
Newsy neighbors
Always asking for favors (yes, they are)
(Talking about, ah-ah, newsy neighbors) newsy neighbors
