Now she's gone, so carry on,
tell me the latest evil about her
Cause like the old saying goes,
absence makes the tongue grow louder
And in the presence of her absence,
the worst in her comes out
It always seems the girl in my dreams
is the girl they talk about
Well, I guess it's fate that every day
there's some bad girl around town
It seems to be my luck every girl I pick up
is the one everybody puts down
beyond the shadow of a doubt
I can be found hangin' around
I don't listen to the things they say
Can't let her make a fool out of me
Cause they're jealous of me
When she's gonna paint me blue
She brushed her past all over my future
With evil deeds she'll do
And in the best crowd, I walk proud
Beside the girl they talk
Because they're jealous of me
When she's gonna paint me blue
She'll brush her past all over my future
With evil deeds she'll do
there's not a halo on those who shine
beside the girl they talk
