She's come back after hurting him. Will he take her back?
Story behind the song
It never happened to me--but I like to think that this is how I would've responded if it had....
Lyrics
The Scene Of The Crime
A long time ago, you stole my heart—And some of my property, too
Then you snuck away in the dead of night, along with somebody new
You come back as though all is forgiven by the simple passage of time
And now, here you are at my doorstep
You’ve returned to the scene of the crime
You come back as though nothing had happened, like you didn’t do anything wrong
As if I’d just welcome you back inside—But I’m not playing along
You think you can just bat your lashes and get me to fall into line
But who could believe what you’re saying
As you stand at the scene of the crime?
Oh, I can’t forgive and I won’t forget
It’s not gonna happen again
I won’t be a victim, I won’t play the fool
The way I did way back then
I’d be crazy to give you another chance—I know what you’re capable of
For you, hurting’s almost a hobby—You’re good at pretending to love
You’re much too smoothe to be trusted and I won’t take you back this time
Crawl back to the hole you came out of
And away from the scene of the crime!
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
Fool me several hundred times
You’re just a repeat offender
Who’s returned to the scene of the crime
