BAD REPUTATION

written by Al Stewart & Peter White

You've got a bad reputation 
All over the street 
There's some indication 
You've been indiscreet 

Oh I know you can turn on the charm 
When you feel so inclined 
Whatever I do 
I can't get you out of my mind 

It's a sad situation 
I'm coming apart 
A clear invitation 
For trouble to start 

If I knew what it was that you did 
It's so hard to define 
But whatever it is 
I can't get you out of my mind 

Maybe I'm seeing 
What I want to see 
Trying to make you 
What you'll never be 

Perhaps it's just the simple fact 
You only want the things that you can't have 
Well I suppose somebody broke your trust 
Now I see you kicking up the dust 

I wouldn't be at all surprised 
If some of it got in my eyes 
You've got a bad reputation 
They're telling me so 

I've got a strong motivation 
To get up and go 
If I knew what it was that you did 
I'd just leave you behind 

But whatever it is 
I can't get you out of my mind 
I suppose this will come to a close 
It's just a matter of time 

But whatever I do,  
I can't get you out of my mind 
Can't get you out of my mind 
Oh no, whatever I do,
