Notoriety lyrics

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 know 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 defense 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
