Clarks - Thought It Was Free lyrics

if i met you you were mistaken

and i'll bet you'll be gone today

cause you got what you wanted from others

but you found out it's not my way

and i'll never lend you my records

and i'll never lend you the cash

cause to you it's always like christmas

and i know you're just a flash in the pan of love

well you hustle drinks from the cotton twill boys

even ones you didn't know

made him work for his last dollar

and you made him walk home in the snow

you thought it was rough when you thought you were down

your living in greed got you running around

thought it was love but you sure had to go

thought it was free now you spend it alone

so don't tell me that the men don't love you

you made the rules you've got to sleep with the game

hustle wine on wednesdays and thursdays

want a husband the rest of the days

then you ask if this song's got your name on it

is this song about you or for you

guilt is the only cause in the world for your fear does it really annoy you

you thought it was rough when you thought you were down

living in greed got you running around

thought it was love but you sure had to go

thought it was free now you spend it alone

you thought it was free

thought it was free

you thought it was free

thought it was free

you thought it was free

it takes a truck to take what you've taken

i gotta squint to see what you gave

it takes a shovel to hear what you're talking

it takes a miracle to make you stay

you thought it was rough when you thought you were down

living in greed got you running around

thought it was love but you sure had to go

thought it was free now you spend it alone

you thought it was free

you thought it was free

you thought it was free

you thought it was free
