Stewart, Al - Bad Reputation Lyrics






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, I can't get you out of my mind

    I was in broadcast college when this came out in '88, and i was absolutely floored. i really hadn't listened to Al that much since his '78 epic "time passages" album was released, but "last day's..." started me on a journey to discover everything by him. His entire body of work is mesmerizing. Thanks so much for this!!!

    I agree Al Steward was ignor by most music listeners from lack of Radio play from what I remember... No doubt Al is a great poet and musician!

    This cut from the fine "Last Days of the Century" album features some excellent saxophone and guitar work as well as the ever gentle, melodious, and kind voice of Al Stewart. Good post.

    Great track from a great album. Shame on the record company, they forgot to tell anybody that this album existed. I had to get my dj friend to steal it from his radio station. Good on him!
