Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Livin' 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
[Chorus]
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
[Verse 2]
And I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only doin' good when I'm havin' fun
And I don't have to please no one
[Chorus]
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Whoa no, not me
[Verse 3]
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if you think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
[Chorus]
And I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Whoa no, not me
Hello, boys
[Verse 4]
And I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
The world's in trouble, there's no communication
And everyone can say what they wanna say
It never gets better anyway
[Chorus]
So why should I care about a bad reputation anyway?
Oh no, not me
Whoa no, not me
[Verse 5]
I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're livin' in the past, it's a new generation
And I only feel good when I got no pain
And that's how I'm gonna stay
[Chorus]
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Whoa no, not me
Not me
Not me
