Bad Penny

Rory Gallagher

6

Well, like a bad penny you′ve turned up again

You're in my sights, there′s a mist on my lens

I think you know how it was when I tripped and fellWell, you double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell

Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow

But I'm out of reach, your smile′s sure gone cold

Well, it can′t ever be like it was then

Well, don't you fool with me, baby, oh, don′t you mess with my plans

Some stormy nights, your memory haunts me

You won't go away

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change

Try to fit into the picture, you can′t get inside the frame

I think you know I'm still sore, but I′m on the mend

Times sure have changed, it won't happen again

Well, like a bad penny spins around and around

Well, you won't know what′s gone wrong when it all falls down

You got to learn from now on to stop playing games

You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way

Some lonely nights, I hear you calling

Won′t you go away?

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again

You're in my sights, there′s a mist on my lens

I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell

Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell
