The Kinks - Once a Thief lyrics

[The Kinks - Once a Thief 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?
