Shadows fall in the places we used to play My toys have all been packed away The rocking horse rocks in its box A spinning top and Corporal Clott Are a dusty lot Many times I said I'd drop you a line I guess I'm just a rotten swine Who takes his time And walks for fun when she should run The damaged one is you old chum Who's the sucker now Who's the sucker now Could someone shed some light on this love affair And help to make me quite aware Of what is meant by wicked thoughts That have been sent My memory is empty Who's the sucker now Who's the sucker now It's too late now there's no time The truth is locked in my mind To wonder and look in my eyes Who's the sucker now Who's the sucker now
