Thought It Was Free
The Clarks

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
