Lyrics for Once A Thief by kinks:

| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Once A Thief | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 220 | | | | Lyrics: | So you've decided to set me free
I've paid my debt to society
Fresh out of jail trying to
make a new start
On the street with a bitter heart
But my past keeps on haunting me
There ain't no chance for a man with my history
Once a thief
Always a suspect
Once a liar
Never be believed
Will they ever forget that
I was once a thief?
I was out in the cold
I was soaked to the skin
I needed a home
And your
heart took me in
Then I heard all the lies
and I lost my belief
You threw away my
hope
and you called me a thief
So you've decided to set me free
I'm out of jail
but you've still got the key
There was a time when I thought you respected me
But somehow
you always suspected me
Once a thief
Always a suspect
Once a liar
Never be
believed
Will they ever forget that
I was once a thief?
Instead of offering me
charity,
You should've tried to put some faith in me
Instead of making me a better man,
You kept reminding me of what I am
Instead of offering me charity,
You should've
tried to put some faith in me
How many years must a criminal pay?
Until he's old and his
hair turns to gray
You smile at me
But I know underneath
You're thinking
Once a
thief always a suspect.
Once a thief
Always a suspect
Once a liar
Never be
believed
Will they ever forget that
I was once a thief? | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
