Words and music by rick nielsen

Reputation is a fragile thing

Fame and money don't mean much to me

Oh, don't go change to prove the point

It doesn't matter, oh no



We've had our problems and we've had our fun

Did a lot of livin' on the run

Oh don't go cover up the truth

Cause we're together, oh yeah



One on one, one on one

It's you and me against the world

It's one on one



Head is spinning and your mouth is dry

Happiness you couldn't 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

I've hear it all before



But it's one on one, one on one

It's you and me against the world

It's 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

It's not so easy when you're on your own



Don't 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 it's

One on one, one on one

It's you and me against the world

It's one on one



One on one, one on one

It's you and me against the world

It's one on one
