1. BAD REPUTATION

A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation.

Oh no not me.

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station

'Bout my bad reputation.

Oh no, not me

What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me.

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past

An' I only feel good
When I got no pain

6. VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE

The police were waitin' when the sun came up
You better move your ass
Or we'll really get rough
I never wanted trouble
But I sure got enough
I'm bad at bein' subtle
But I ain't that tough, no.

Just a victim of circumstance
Didn't you know
Just a victim of circumstance
Doesn't it show
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Wherever I go
Just a victim of bad reputation
I go no chance of shakin'.

Really gets you down when you don't belong
An' everyone around says you growed up wrong
But why do they resent it, I ain't doin' anything
They say that I'm demented an' I never could sing
Then everywhere I went I caused them such alarm
You know I never meant to cause anybody harm, no.

Just a victim of circumstance
Didn't you know
Just a victim of circumstance
Doesn't it show
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Wherever I go
Just a victim of bad reputation
I go no chance of shakin'.

I've been laughed at, I've been shut out
But let there be no doubt
Never been afraid of chances I been takin'.

The police are waitin' when the sun came up
You better move your ass
Or we'll really get rough
I never wanted trouble
But I sure get enough
I'm bad at bein' subtle
But I ain't that tough, no.

Just a victim of circumstance
Didn't you know
Just a victim of circumstance
Doesn't it show
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Wherever I go
Just a victim of bad reputation
I go no chance of shakin'.


7. EVERYDAY PEOPLE

Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people.

Then it's the blue ones who can't accept
The green ones for living with
The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby.

Ooh sha sha
We gotta live together.

I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me
You know me and then
Still can't figure out the scene I'm in
I am everyday people.

Then it's the new man
That doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby.

Ooh sha sha
We got to live together.


8. I HATE MYSELF FOR LOVIN' YOU

Midnight gettin' uptight Where are you
You said you'd meet me now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you.

Hey Jack It's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous don't like lookin' like a clown.

I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away.

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you.

Daylight spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through.

Hey man betcha you can treat me right
You just don’t know what you was missin’ last night
I wanna see you beggin, say forget it just for spite.

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you.

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you.

I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away.

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you.

There is a yellow one that won't
Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one.

Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
I am everyday people.


9. CRIMSON AND CLOVER

Ah, now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover.

Ah when she comes walking over
Now I've been waitin' to show her
Crimson and clover over and over.

Yeah, my, my such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover over and over.

Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over.


10. FAKE FRIENDS

When you were down they were never there
When you're all alone you really get to learn
If you get back up they gonna come around
All the sycophants they love to make romance
To the ugly sound of 'em tellin' you what you
Wanna hear an' you pretend.

Cuz they all agree you're supposed to have a better life
But you're feelin' worse
An' they build you up till you fool yourself that you're
Something else an' it's like a curse cause
You can't live up to what they made of you
An' they tell you that you're losin' friends.

Losin' friends, losin' friends
Ya got nothin to lose
Ya don't lose when you lose fake friends.

Ya go an tell 'em you were king of the hill
When ya need a hand - that was yesterday
Ya see 'em laugh while you're on your knees
An' it breaks your heart cuz ya gave so much
An' ya can't believe that ya hit the gound an'
Ya notice ya been losin' friends.

Losin' friends, losin' friends
Ya got nothin to lose
Ya don't lose when you lose fake friends.


11. MAKE BELIEVE

I know you know
Everybody knows it's true
I'm in love
But it's only make believe to you.

I love your love
All the things that lovers do now, baby

That's it's only make believe to you.

I said uh-huh uh-huh uh

13. LITTLE LIAR

I was taught to never tell a lie
To look you in the eye and tell it like it is
Always thought that you would be the same
It's such a shame that's not the way it is.

I was fooled by your innocence
And my love for you was so intense
With our connection only physical
If it got me through the night
Well that's a lie.

Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you oh.

A simple question makes you look away
Your hesitation gives it all away
There's some protection in the way you move
If there's sadness in my eyes
It's coming from your lies.

Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
I believed in you.

You want to sleep with me but payback's tough
Why don't you call me when you're all grown up
If there's a change in you I'll know it's true
Hey little liar I believed in you.

Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar I believed in you
Hey little liar
Hey little liar
Hey little liar


14. WORLD OF DENIAL

How did we get to this place?
I thought that we would have settled this by now
I thought that blood was thicker than mud
I guess I was wrong.

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial.

All we have is our family an' our friends
Why let this thing come to a painful end?
I thought that we'd embrace
Instead we pull away
I guess I was wrong.

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial.

Go on, keep on playin' dirty
Go on, keep on breaking all the rules
Go on, keep doin' what your doin'
You're gonna look good on the front page news.

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial.

You got control so you just don't care
But it won't be me who'll go runnin' scared
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Cause you're just livin' in a world of denial.


15. LOVE IS ALL AROUND
