Who did you think you were?
Who did you think you were fooling?
You've been seeing too many movies
Where the bad guys were the heroes
Everything started fine
And it looked like the seeds were sown
'Till you took up an evil stance and you came on
Just like Al Capone
I had to leave or I'd have gone insane
Now I hear they say you've changed but
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Don't you ever wonder why
You had me when I was green
It made me feel so dependent
It satisfied your paranoia to think I really needed you
Who did you think I was
Did you think that I'd let it ride
Put down that violin case,
I know just what you're trying to hide
I've got to leave you chill me to the marrow
There's just no way you're on the straight and narrow because
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Don't you ever wonder why
And when I finally climbed down off your shelf
You blamed everyone except yourself
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
They just fade into the night
Oh, bye-bye
The lyrics OLD GANGSTERS NEVER DIE of RICK SPRINGFIELD is also present in the album Wait for night (1976)
