I got me a complication And it's an only child Concernin' my reputation As something more than wild I know it serves me right But I can't sleep at night Have to hide my face Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace I won't cry out for justice Admit that I was wrong I'll stay in hibernation 'Til the talk subsides to gone My social life's a dud My name is really mud I'm up to here in lies Guess I'm down to size To size Can't seem to talk about The things that bother me Seems to be What everybody has Against me Oh, oh, all right Here's the situation And how it really stands I'm out of circulation I've all but washed my hands My social life's a dud My name is really mud I'm up to here in lies Guess I'm down to size To size Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk
