Lyrics
My rep
copyright Richard Rummery 2005
from the album 'unsound' by ftprints11 2005
People turning there eyes away from
making me sad
vi)
I've heard it all, seen you around
I've heard the stories, the rumours
there's a lot of gossip in this town
people lie, and people cheat
some folks are jealous, their lives are incomplete
so whatdidya' say?
Ch:
My reputation, threatened all over town
my reputation, starts to bring me down
vii)
I've made mistakes, like you, once or twice
but don't we all deserve a chance to prove we 're really nice
people lie, people cheat, some people jealous
their lives are incomplete
so whatdidiya' say?
Ch:
My reputation, its taken control
reputation, it's making you cold
mid:
my reputation, is shot
my reputation is all I've got
Ch:
reputation, its bad
reputation, its sad
my reputation.
