This is a song written about a girl who has a reputation for being Miss Independent, but upon meeting this guy, she starts to lose that reputation. She instead become like a puppy in love. She tries to deny her love for him, but everyone around can see she’s fallen for him.
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I never should have looked into your eyes
Now everybody's gonna see how I feel
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm losing sleep, what's gotten into me?
I'm usually never this way, baby
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
