[Verse 1] I play the wicked part in all these stories And people think they got me pinned Someone is always talking out there for me Cause everybody knows my name now But nobody knows me yet Its such a blow to hear all the perceptions Especially from my friend If people paid a little more attention Maybe they could get to know me But nobody knows me yet [Chorus] Cause when you look in my face Do you only see the messes I make Oh yeah, cause yesterday baby That was such a different place Living my life out in gossip land Trying to be a better man Washing all this dirt off my hand Out here in gossip land [Verse 2] Running down the road in miles of moving Rattling off my sins, its always where Ive been not what Im doing Cause everybody knows my name now But nobody knows me yet [Chorus] [Bridge] Tongues will lash and lips can bruise People only see the things that make them feel less accused [Chorus] [Outro] I play the wicked part in all these stories Cause everybody knows my name now But nobody knows me yet
yet, nobody, gossip, know, wicked
