"Bad Reputation" is the eleventh track on Illuminate.
Lyrically, Shawn finds a guy trying to care for a young woman who's apparently made some pretty poor choices and faced harsh judgment from others.
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 oh no
'cause she's 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
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
Nobody gets too close
A sight of a soul when it's breakin'
Makin' my heart grow cold
And into the deeper she's sinkin'
I'm beggin' her please, don't let go
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 know her, said
Nobody knows the weight that’s on her shoulders, said
Nobody knows the way that I know her, said
She got it bad, she got it bad
Nobody knows the way that I know her, said
Nobody knows the weight that’s on her shoulders, said
Nobody knows the way that I know her, said
She got a bad, she got a bad
And I don't care what they, say about you baby
And 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
And 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
