lyrics by stephen egerton and bill stevenson
music by stephen egerton
ain't it funny everybody
thinks that i'm a slime
and i've never done much of anything to deserve it


it's a wonder i can function
feels like i'm on trial
i need to set things straight so you'll know you can trust me


always looking never finding
got me nothing to call my own
always lying never trying
always got me nowhere


i'm just as good as my word
no matter what you've heard
don't judge me on the blown up rumours that you overheard
i'm just as good as my word
no matter what you heard
this is a different time and place and you're a different girl


heard a story not to worry
it shows that you don't know
you know everyone can do both good and evil


say you love me thinking of me
it don't make much sense
to say those things to me when you don't even trust me


always looking never finding
got me nothing to call my own
always lying never trying
always got me nowhere


i'm just as good as my word
no matter what you've heard
don't judge me on the blown up rumors that you overheard
i'm just as good as my word
no matter what you heard
this is a different time and place and you're a different girl
this is now
