Canadian superstar Justin Bieber has revealed that he actively stays away from song lyrics that deal with sex and drugs because he doesn't want to have a bad influence on his young fan base. 

The teen sensation, who recently got a large tattoo of Jesus on his calf, explained to V Magazine that it's important at his age to be "respected by everybody":

"I don't want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I'm into love, and maybe I'll get more into making love when I'm older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody."

17-year-old Bieber, who predominantly sings about flighty affection and puppy love crushes, added that he's always trying to up his game and will improve as he matures in the industry:

"Eventually, I want to become the best at what I do. I want to be better than anybody who's ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can. Because for me, I work so hard and this consumes my life -- it's not worth it if I'm not the best."
