[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

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
