You got a bad reputation, that's the word out on the town

It gives a certain fascination, and it can only bring you down

Turn it upside down, turn yourself around

You had bad breaks, well that's tough luck

You played too hard, and too much rough stuff

Your too sly, stone cold, that bad reputation

Has made you old
