Whe 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 ba dreputation
  
  (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..
