lyrics

Everything they told you ‘bout me it makes sense to me. Everything you’ve heard about me it makes sense to me. So, what’s the use in trying if my reputation precedes me?

You don’t have to worry darling I’m yours exclusively. With all these rumors swirling ‘round, I’m the one you should believe. I’m too tired to fight about my reputation, precedes me.

I don’t wanna hurt nobody, you especially. We could save some precious time and agree to disagree. You don’t wanna talk about my reputation, precedes me.

Sometimes you can’t go home. Your better off alone. And even if you change your evil ways… they’ll think you’re still the same old way.

Everything they wrote about me it makes sense to me. Everything they wrote about me looks like a good read. There’s no use denying that my reputation precedes me.

But what’s the use in trying when my reputation… precedes me.
