Bad Reputation Lyrics by Thin Lizzy

Dedication: The Very Best of Thin Lizzy

1977

[Verse 1]
You've got a bad reputation
That's the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down

[Chorus]
You better turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around

[Verse 2]
You had bad breaks
Well, that's tough luck
You play too hard, too much
You rough stuff
You're too sly, so cold
That bad reputation has made you old

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around

[Instrumental Outro/Guitar Solo]
