Lyrics:

I've got a bad reputation
And it's getting me down.
I need a new situation
On a new side of town.

Gonna get myself together,
Gonna get it right.
I've been riding stormy weather
Looking for the light.

Everybody's jumping in my face,
Telling what to say.
Everybody's getting on my case,
I'd rather do it my own way.

I've got a bad reputation
And it's coming on strong.
I need some cool arbitration
To see right from wrong.

Gonna get myself together,
Gonna get it right.
I've been riding stormy weather
Looking for the light.

Everybody's trying to make me shout,
Telling me what to do.
Everybody's trying to sus me out.
I'm leaving that up to you.

People telling me what I need,
Trying to put me in my place.
I think it's time I take the lead.
I'm gonna run in my own race.
