Id give you all of me to know what you were thinking
And if I had one wish, Id wish I wasnt sinking here
Drowning in this well
Oh, cant you tell
That I cant pick myself up off the ground
Well, Ive been face down
And pushed aside
Well, you know Id rather just turn tail and run
Than lie here in the sun
And watch you pass me by
Cause I aint worth a dime
(Yeah yeah ... oh yeah...)
But if only I could stand up straight,
I wouldnt have to lie and wait
Id get up and roll away
And never be ignored
Ive got a feeling that Im something more
Than just a piece of copper ore
Turning green and looking for
The reason I was born
Well, Ive been around since 1964
In banks and bottom drawers
And on railroad ties
Ive been passed around and cast aside
Skipped and flipped and flattened wide
Spun around and thrown away and left alone to lie
But I heard about a penny found
Lying underneath the couch
By a woman who was kneeling down
Looking for some change
Then the woman danced around
And called her friends all over town
Told em what was lost is found
Its another penny saved
So I find that all this time
Beneath the surface, I could shine
Like all the gold a king and queen could measure
You see, even just a penny is a treasure
