Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You've got a bad reputation

That's the word out on the town

It gives a certain fascination

Well, it can only bring you down

[Verse 2]

You better turn yourself around

Turn yourself around

Turn it upside down

Turn yourself around

[Verse 3]

You had bad breaks, well, that's tough luck

You play too hard, too much rough stuff

You're too sly, so cold

That bad reputation has made you old

[Verse 4]

Turn yourself around

Turn yourself around

Turn it upside down

Turn yourself around

Written by: Brian Downey, Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham
