Penny For Your Thoughts
He pulled a penny from his pocket
And placed in it my hand
"Penny for Your thoughts" he said (the part in "-" should be spoken)
He wanted to know all the thoughts
That were tumbling inside my head
I tried to maintain control
But the tears streamed down my face
I didn't look at him when I said,
(this chorus should be forceful)
I thought I was your true love
I thought I was your one and only
Never thought you'd be with her
And I'd be so lonely
I thought you cared
Here's a penny for your thoughts
He stared at me in shock
His own heart was breaking
As he watched my own heart crumble
He knew there was nothing he could say
That would make his wrong right
He took that penny from my hand
And rolled it around his fingers
He couldn't look at me when he said
(not as forceful as first chorus, and sung by a guy if used in a duet)
I thought you were my true love
I thought you were my one and only
Never thought I'd be with her
And you'd be so lonely
I do care so much
Here's a penny for your thoughts
(first 4 lines should be forceful)
You lied
You cheated
You used
You played
Yet, I still love you
There's a penny for my thoughts
I thought I was your true love(I thought you were my true love)
I thought I was your one and only (I thought you were my one and only)
Never thought you'd be with her(Never thought I'd be with her)
And I'd be so lonely(and you'd be so lonely)
There's a penny for my thoughts
