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
