I hear the voice calling me. We're out on the road tonight. My baby's leaving me. 'Cause I'm never home at night. I had a telephone. I'm in a hotel room. Someone's knocking at my door. It cannot be for me. I got a bad reputation. Bad reputation. I needed love in the heat of the night.
You weren't around and I could not fight. I got a bad reputation. Oh, baby it hurts you so. But the show must go on. Tonight is another town. It goes on and on. I didn't take the time to stop. And think of life without your love. Oh baby please I'm on my knees.
