I hear you calling
Some lonely nights
Won't you go away?
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
Well, it can't ever be like it was then
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games
Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down
Well, don't you mess with my plans
You're in my sights, well, there's a mist on my lens
You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way
Well, like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
Well, you've double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell, oh
Well, like a bad penny spins around and around
Well, don't you fool with me, baby
I think you know I'm still sore but I'm on the mend
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Your memory haunts me
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again
Some stormy nights
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold
You won't go away
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change
