Such a bad seed, I was told from the start
Given little choice I committed to act the part
I’d open my mouth and end up on display
A headstrong rebel who refused to play your games
If my reputation precedes me
It’s a fact I can’t deny
Can’t help but wear my heart on my sleeve
For that I won't apologize
Blame it on character flaw, blame it on genes
Blame it on my inability to please
Impossible to live up to the standards you set
But my failure never seemed to cause you regret
If my reputation precedes me
It’s not my nature to toe the line
Can’t help but wear my heart on my sleeve
For that I won't apologize
Nothing but trouble till the end of my days
I’ll never be forgiven for my reckless ways
It’s not a matter of who is right or wrong
If heaven’s where you’re headed then I just don’t belong
If my reputation precedes me
It’s taken years to get it right
Can’t help but wear my heart on my sleeve
Don't expect me to apologize
