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
