Bad Reputation Lyrics
She got a bad reputation
She takes the long way home
And all of my friends seen her naked
Or so the story goes
Mistakes, we all make them
But they won't let it go, no
'Cause she got a bad reputation
But I know what they don't
And I don't care what they say about you, baby
They don't know what you've been through
Trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
She got a bad reputation
Nobody gets too close
A sight of a soul when it's breaking
Making my heart grow cold
And into the deep where she's sinking
I'm begging her, please, don't let go
'Cause she's got a bad reputation
But she's all that, all I want though
And I don't care what they say about you, baby
They don't know what you've been through
And trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
Nobody knows the way that I, I know her
Said, nobody knows the weight that's on her shoulders
Said, nobody knows the way that I, I know her
Said, she got a bad, she got a bad
Nobody knows the way that I, I know her
Said, nobody knows the weight that's on her shoulders
Said, nobody knows the way that I, I know her
Said, she got a bad, she got a bad
And I don't care what they say about you, baby
They don't know what you've been through
And trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
And I don't care what they say about you, baby
They don't know what you've been through
And trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
She got a bad reputation
She takes the long way home
She takes the long way home
And all of my friends seen her naked
Or so the story goes
Mistakes, we all make them
But they won't let it go, no
'Cause she got a bad reputation
But I know what they don't
They don't know what you've been through
Trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
Nobody gets too close
A sight of a soul when it's breaking
Making my heart grow cold
And into the deep where she's sinking
I'm begging her, please, don't let go
'Cause she's got a bad reputation
But she's all that, all I want though
They don't know what you've been through
And trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
Said, nobody knows the weight that's on her shoulders
Said, nobody knows the way that I, I know her
Said, she got a bad, she got a bad
Nobody knows the way that I, I know her
Said, nobody knows the weight that's on her shoulders
Said, nobody knows the way that I, I know her
Said, she got a bad, she got a bad
They don't know what you've been through
And trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
They don't know what you've been through
And trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you
She takes the long way home

In the song "Bad Reputation", Shawn is inferring to the fact that even though this girl was seen in a negative way, he did not care what others said about her. In the line "And all of my friend seen her naked", it refers she has slept around with many guys, but Shawn knows things about her that no one else understands. It's a powerful song because we all mistakes, and he is saying he doesn't care what others think.
Overall a 10/10 recommended song:)
