I hear the voice calling me
We're out on the road tonight
My baby's leaving me
Cause I'm never home at night
I had a telephone
I'm in a hotel room
Someone's knocking at my door
It cannot be for me
I got a bad reputation
Bad reputation
I needed love
In the heat of the night
You weren't around
And I could not fight
I got a bad reputation
Oh, baby it hurts you so
But the show must go on
Tonight is another town
It goes on and on
I didn't take the time to stop
And think of life without your love
Oh baby please
I'm on my knees
I got a bad reputation
Bad reputation
I needed love
In the heat of the night
You weren't around
And I could not fight
I got a bad reputation
