Lyrics

	I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
	You're living in the past it's a new generation
	A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
	What I'm gonna do
	An' I don't give a damn' bout my bad reputation
	Oh no not me

		An' I don't give a damn'bout my reputation
		Never said I wanted to improve my station
		An' I'm only doin' good
		When I'm havin' fun
		An' I don't have to please no one
		An' I don't give a damn
		'Bout my bad reputation
		Oh no, not me
		Oh no, not me

	I don't give a damn
	'Bout my reputation
	I've never been afraid of any deviation
	An' I don't really care
	If ya think I'm strange
	I ain't gonna change
	An' I'm never gonna care
	'Bout my bad reputation
	Oh no, not me
	Oh no, not me
	hello boys

		(Solo)

	An' I don't give a damn
	'Bout my reputation
	The world's in trouble
	There's no communication
	An' everyone can say
	What they want to say
	It never gets better anyway
	So why should I care
	'Bout a bad reputation anyway
	Oh no, not me
	Oh no, not me

		I don't give a damn'bout my bad reputation
		You're living in the past
		It's a new generation
		An' I only feel good
		When I got no pain
		An' that's how I'm gonna stay
		An' I don't give a damn
		'Bout my bad reputation
		Oh no, not me
		Oh no, not me
		Not me, not me
