Bad Penny - Rory Gallagher

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 fell

Well you double-dealed me

Baby and I broke like a shell hey

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
