I've got a bad reputation in this town
It's something I can't live down
I wish I could be what people want me to be
But somehow I can't come around

So you take your road and I'll take mine
I'll drink the whisky and you drink the wine
Cause that's the situation
I've got a bad reputation

I've got a bad reputation in this town
People try to put me down
They call me a loser
A no good boozer
And tell me I act like a clown

Now if you don't like my face and style
Don't waste time trying to tell me how
Just show me and get your own bad reputation

Yeah if you don't like my face and style
Don't waste time tryin' to tell me how
Just show me
And get your own bad reputation
A bad reputation
You'll get a bad reputation
Bad, bad reputation
Such a shame
You've got a bad reputation A bad reputation
It's a bad bad bad bad reputation
A bad reputation
