well   it used to be easy for me   to hang out and get high   what you're going through is killing you   now you're shooting me the evil eye      you holler at me, it's ugly to see   you hurt yourself and lose your pride   'cause the villain in me is in ecstasy   and i'm taking it all in stride      all the rumors will start, don't let 'em tear us apart   don't let our love become unbound   you gotta learn to take the destruction, babe   what goes around comes around      talk around town is bringing you down   can't you see that they're just lies   it don't mean a thing, the mud they sling   suspicion's in their eyes, now      'cause I've been villified   crossing over to the other side   oh, villified   can't see   what's on the inside   what's on the inside      want to talk to you to see you through   some things ain't worth the fight   you know me well enough to try and act tough   what we had was love at first sight      you point at me confused what you see   means something you can't find   don't wanna give in, take a look within   you gotta stop and check your mind, right now   right now      (chorus) x2      the talk around town is bringing you down   just can't see what's on the inside   it don't mean a thing, the mud that they sling   they can't see what's on the inside   girl, i've been villified    yeah, villified, villified, villified   i've been talked about, turned out   but they can't see, they can't see, no
