Bad Penny lyrics

I have a letter from her
When she worked for the "woman`s realm"
And all the things she promised me
She promised herself as well
She said, "i want my freedom"
And ran off along the beach
It`s hard to love a girl so near
Yet so far out of reach

She came back when the tide came in
And introduced her friend to me
She said, "don`t ring while he is here"
And gave me back my poetry
She expected me to understand
As she`s always done this before
And now she asks me
"why don`t you send me poems anymore?"

And she steals more than she buys
You can see it in her eyes
And she`ll come back as soon as she`s ready
She`s a bad penny

Then she comes back and asks me
To sing all her favourite songs
As if she`s never been away
As if she`s done nothing wrong
But i`ve come to the conclusion
That she doesn`t realise a thing
And she probably still thinks i love her
And she doesn`t know that it`s a sin
