Cm
My love's a weapon and I'm knockin' 'em dead
I got a heart that's tough as leather
Get what I want and just forget 'em
Well, this game you're playin' is a Russian Roulette
Just 'cause I'm sweet when we're together
Doesn't mean I'm yours forever

   D#                          G#
I never should have looked into your eyes
    D#                 G
Now everybody's gonna see how I feel

Chorus
          Cm        Fm                     A#
Don't go ruinin', ruinin' my, my bad reputation
Don't go tellin' 'em, tellin' 'em all the plans
we've been makin'
'Cause everyone knows that I don't cry
You'll never see stars shinin' in my eyes, yeah
Ruinin', ruinin' my, my bad reputation
Oh no, oh, oh, no, no
Oh no, oh, oh, no, no

Well, I tell 'em, tell 'em, yeah,
you're nothing to me
I tell 'em that you, you're just another
You're just like any other
Well, I try to sell 'em, but they ain't buyin' it
Baby, they see me start to stutter
When they ask if you're my lover

I'm losing sleep, what's gotten into me?
I'm usually never this way, baby

Chorus

I have got to pull myself together,
but I can't control it
My lips, they know what they want, everybody knows
it
Once a girl controlled the world with words that
pierced the bone
Now I'm smiling like a lovesick pup and everybody
knows it

Chorus:
Don't go ruinin', ruinin' my, my bad reputation
Don't go tellin' 'em, tellin' 'em all
the plans we've been making
Cause everyone knows that I don't cry
You never see stars shinin' in my eyes yeah
Ruinin', ruinin' my, my bad reputation
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, no
'Cause everyone knows that I don't cry
You never see stars shinin' in my eyes, yeah
Ruinin', ruinin' my, my bad reputation
Oh, no
