What's the meaning to the song, "Somebody Told Me"?

It is in the Hot Fuss album, I listen to it, love the beat, sing the words, but I don't get it. Can someone explain to me the meaning of the words!?

Sounds to me like they're singing about what happens when gossip gets twisted. "Somebody told me" seems very fitting to me.

Heaven ain't close in a world of gossip. "somebody" is trying to keep him away from her.AND he isn't breaking his back just to know her name or he would just walk up and ask...BUT, he's got potential. What woman wants a wimp?

i think its about a rumor that he has heard and he doesn't know where its from or who told it or something. Or maybe he was dating a trasvistite and was confused

i think its about a boy who likes a girl and he heard that she had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that he had (in febuary of last year), so maybe they have something in common
