Bad Penny
I have a letter from herWhen she worked for the woman's realmAnd all the things she promised meShe promised herself as wellShe said, i want my freedomAnd ran off along the beachIt's hard to love a girl so nearYet so far out of reachShe came back when the tide came inAnd introduced her friend to meShe said, don't ring while he is hereAnd gave me back my poetryShe expected me to understandAs she's always done this beforeAnd now she asks mewhy don't you send me poems anymore? And she steals more than she buysYou can see it in her eyesAnd she'll come back as soon as she's readyShe's a bad pennyThen she comes back and asks meTo sing all her favourite songsAs if she's never been awayLetras de cancionesAs if she's done nothing wrongBut I've come to the conclusionThat she doesn't realise a thingAnd she probably still thinks I love herAnd she doesn't know that it's a sin From Letras Mania
