Bad Reputation Lyrics - Singles - Al Stewart

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,
