lousy reputation - we are scientists

Why do I keep finding myself so surprised?
The qualities, you openly have advertised?
A bigger man might not feel quite so compromised
But I've never been a saint and I won't start tonight

It's burning me up
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me

I've heard some things I guess it's better not to know
It's pretty bad as far as first impressions go
A bigger man could probably get past it all
Oh, the problem here is I just won't grow up
So what?

It's burning me up
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me
Off, off, off
Off, off, off
Off, off, off
Off, off, off

It's burning me up
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
I've heard it enough
I won't let your lousy reputation throw me off
