you say I never pay attention |
|
what makes you think i look the other way |
|
you let me be the judge |
|
i don't believe what they say |
|
your name came up in conversation yesterday |
|
my best bet was to feign indifference |
|
you've got an awful reputation by the way |
|
the table made a joke at your expense |
|
didn't believe a word |
|
i don't believe what they say |
|
it smacked of jealousy |
|
i now it's only notoriety |
|
my reputation might precede me baby |
|
forget the rumours and the hearsay |
|
you think i never pay attention to you |
|
i guess you think i look the other way |
|
i don't care what you've heard |
|
why d'you believe what they say |
|
i'll come to your defence |
|
you know it's only notoriety |
|
to hell with our outrageous fortune baby |
|
we've got a sea of troubles in our sights |
|
we don't need recklessness or caution |
|
to catch the gossip-mongers dead to rights |
|
let them all speculate |
|
they ain't got a clue anyway |
|
just use your common sense |
|
you know it's only notoriety |
|
hear no evil and speak no evil |
|
see no evil lest it come your way |
