Words and music by rick nielsen
Reputation is a fragile thing
Fame and money dont mean much to me
Oh, dont go change to prove the point
It doesnt matter, oh no
Weve had our problems and weve had our fun
Did a lot of livin on the run
Oh dont go cover up the truth
Cause were together, oh yeah
One on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one
Head is spinning and your mouth is dry
Happiness you couldnt find or buy
Oh, ever want something so bad you could taste it?
Made the deadline and you passed the test
Sabotage seems safer than success
Put it off until tomorrow
Ive hear it all before
But its one on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one
I need some time to think the whole thing over
You say you want to save the world alone
I want to taste and test the waters with you
Its not so easy when youre on your own
Dont lie to me is all I ask of you
No excuses I just want the truth
Reputation is a fragile thing
I know you know it, well its
One on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one
One on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one
(repeat to coda)
