You said you've changed
But your reputation precedes you
I'd like to please you
Never leave you
Believe in you

Oh, but I can hear them sayin' (He's a bad one)
And I can hear her laughin' (He's a bad one)
It's their decision
Now, have I the courage to love you?

We all make mistakes
I know no one who is perfect
Still, I know where there's smoke there's fire
My friend tells me
He's a cheat, he's a liar, oh yeah

I can hear them sayin' (He's a bad one)
And I can hear her laughin' (He's a bad one)
It's their decision
Now, have I the courage to love you?

But they can't the see the sweetness inside (Sweetness inside)
It's taken years of lettin' me tryin' to hide (Tryin' to hide)
So they say he's a (rough, tough guy)
But I know better

(He's a bad one) And I ain't scared to love him
(He's a bad one) And I ain't scared to want him
I've made my decision
Now baby, I'm gonna love you
(He's a bad one) And I ain't scared to love him
(He's a bad one) And I ain't scared to want him
I've made my decision
Now baby, I'm gonna love you
