I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.
Living in the past, it's a new generation.
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's what I'm gonna do.
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.
Oh no, not me.
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.
Never said I wanted to improve my station.
An' I'm only doin' good when I'm havin' fun.
An' I don't have to please no one.
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.
Oh no, no, no, no not me, oh no, no, no, no not me.
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.
I've never been afraid of any deviation.
An' I don't really care if you think I'm strange.
I ain't gonna change.
An' I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation.
Oh no, not me, oh no, not me.
Pedal, boys!
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation.
The world's in trouble, there's no communication.
An' everyone can say what they wanna say.
It never gets better, anyway.
So why should I care about a bad reputation, anyway?
Oh no, not me, oh no, not me.
I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.
You're living in the past, it's a new generation.
An' I only feel good when I got no pain.
An' that's how I'm gonna stay.
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation.
Oh no, not me, oh no, not me.
Not me, not me.

A great cover song transcends the original thanks to the ways the latter only pointed at. For instance, Joan Jett and her band took what the Arrows did, but they transformed the entire thing into something sleazier, if I am allowed to claim this. I mean, the original sounds almost polite in comparison to how Mrs. Jett modifies the composition. As you can hear her vocals get asserted throughout the tune in a winning manner, she also manages to establish her powerful rock star persona that was surprising for the time. Moreover, the backing got a dose of steroids, because the riff the Arrows played became nastier. However, she kept the pop elements of the previous version, which become more pronounced with her changes.

Look at the way, We gotta hide what we're doing. 'Cause what would they say? If they ever knew, and so we're Running just as fast as we can! Holding on to one another's hand! Trying to get away into the night, And then you put your arms around me And we tumble to the ground And then you say I think we're alone now (alone now), There doesn't seem to be anyone around! I think we're alone now (alone now), The beating of our hearts is the only sound!
Ritchie Cordell, “I Think We’re Alone Now”

I Think We’re Alone Now
Children, behave!
That’s what they say when we’re together.
And watch how you play.
They don’t understand, and so we’re 
Running just as fast as we can.
Holding on to one another’s hand.
Trying to get away into the night,
Then you put your arms around me,
And we tumble to the ground,
And then you say....

A thing about the rock music of the 60's that continues to be heralded might be that the style seemed intent on including every one within the field. We can debate about the veracity of this, yes, though we can agree that there can be many surprises found here. One such might've been Tommy James And The Shondells, who have achieved a couple of hits, yet they're not really that known despite the fact some of their tunes distill the 60's to their essence. I mean, the piece in the link rocks like crazy and the group clearly knows how to deploy their skills. Moreover, I'm not surprised Billy Idol covered the composition, but I must be honest – his version sounds similar to the original, which only shows how great the ditty is.

I owe the idea for tonight’s music post to rawgod, who commented on yesterdays Dancing Queen that this song was more his idea of music that gets his toes tapping and makes him want to get up and dance!  As soon as I began listening to the link he sent, I recognized the song, though I hadn’t heard it in probably 20 years!  And it definitely does have the rhythm that sets the old toes to…

Audio
Here’s the first half of the audio for the score I posted earlier. These are just the practice vocals, so ignore the pronunciation errors -- they will be fixed in the final draft. I’m not sure when I will have time to finish. I used some artistic license in the translation. I was more concerned with conveying the spirit of the song than doing a word-for-word translation.
你听:对我一前发帖的乐谱,我做上半的录音。这个片段有一些发音的错,所以我再会灌录演唱部分。我不知道我什么时候能做完了。我翻译是艺术夸张。 诗律和意味比直译优先。
@hunxi-guilai, 再次感谢你的翻译帮助。
View Chinese & English Lyrics | 看英语和汉语歌词:
第一詩節: 遵守规则 也不要滥交他们这样说  世界不认 我们是知己但我们无怍
第一副歌: 我们握住彼此的手 快步如流星而奔跑 我与你在一条独木桥走到黑 我们互相在抱一起跌倒的时候 你告诉我
第二副歌: 只有我们俩 我现在不会看到别人仅仅看到你 只有我们俩在这里 只能听到你的心跳跟我的一起
第二詩節: 暗渡陈仓 希望世间容忍 两心相悦 保证前途无量
再一次唱第一副歌
再两次唱第二副歌

Translation of My Translation:
Verse 1: Follow the rules don’t choose friends/lovers indiscriminately That’s what they say The world doesn’t recognize that we’re confidants/soulmates But we’re not ashamed
Pre-Chorus: We hold each other's hands And run  fast as shooting stars I go with you on a single log bridge into the darkness When we embrace each other  and fall together,  you tell me
Chorus: It’s only the two of us In this moment, I don’t notice anyone else I only see you It’s only the two of us here All I can hear is our hearts beating together
Verse 2: In a clandestine affair Hoping for tolerance in the world (our) deep love for each other Guarantees a promising future
Repeat Pre-Chorus 1x
Repeat Chorus 2x

Ritchie Cordell’s Original Song Lyrics: 
Verse 1: "Children, behave" That's what they say when we're together "And watch how you play" They don't understand Pre-Chorus: And so we're running just as fast as we can Holding on to one another's hand Trying to get away into the night And then you put your arms around me As we tumble to the ground and then you say Chorus: I think we're alone now There doesn't seem to be anyone around I think we're alone now The beating of our hearts is the only sound Verse 2: Look at the way We gotta hide what we're doing 'Cause what would they say If they ever knew
Repeat Pre-Chorus
