Bad Reputation - Donna Summer

When I was young, my momma always told me

I still hear her advice

She said don’t ever bet against your feelings

Always think twice

Don’t go and throw your love away

To some man just for the night

Promises, promises, don’t waste your time

If his intentions don’t feel right

Your reputation follows you wherever you go

Don’t get a bad reputation

Your reputation can’t be bought, it can’t be sold

Don’t get a bad reputation

Don’t need a bad reputation

I’m so thankful momma I am waiting

To find someone who

Was looking in the same direction

That you pointed to

I’ll never turn and walk away

If my heart gives me the sign

When the one, comes along

He’ll understand

That the wait was worth the while

Your reputation follows you wherever you go

Don’t get a bad reputation

Your reputation can’t be bought, it can’t be sold

Don’t get a bad reputation

Don’t need a bad reputation

(Momma said, she said)

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me

Your reputation follows you wherever you go

Don’t get a bad reputation

Your reputation can’t be bought, it can’t be sold

Don’t get a bad reputation

Don’t need a bad reputation.
