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 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 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
