Notoriety
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
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
