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.

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.
