When I was young, my momma always told me
I still hear her advice
she said don't ever bet against your feelings
always think twice
don't go and throw your love away
to some man just for the night
promises, promises, don't waste your time
if his intentions don't feel right
Your reputation follows you wherever you go
don't get a bad reputation
your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold
don't get a bad reputation
don't need a bad reputation
I'm so thankful momma I am waiting
to find someone who
was looking in the same direction
that you pointed to
I'll never turn and walk away
if my heart gives me the sign
when the one, comes along
he'll understand
that the wait was worth the while
Your reputation follows you wherever you go
don't get a bad reputation
your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold
don't get a bad reputation
don't need a bad reputation
(Momma said, she said)
listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me
listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me
Your reputation follows you wherever you go
don't get a bad reputation
your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold
don't get a bad reputation
don't need a bad reputation
