Lyrics Once a Thief - The Kinks
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?
