Late one night I heard a knock at the doorThe boys were really painting the townI was just another bored teenage boyKickin' up and actin' the clown... YeahOne dare led to another dareThen things were getting out of controlWe hopped the fence and we stole the pearsAnd I threw away a part of my soulYes, I threw away a part of my soul (now it's)Chorus:Haunting me how I stole those pears'Cause I loved the wrongEven though I knew a better wayNot for hunger or povertyIt was more than pears that I ended upthrowin' away... YeahTime goes by - now I'm old and greyThose pears are just a memoryI would gladly pay all I have todayBut that's just not the problem yousee... ('cause it's)(Chorus)Bridge:Why do we love all the things that are wrongForbidden fruit has a strange siren songWhy do we do what we don't want to doWhen we live with regrets our whole lifethrough(Chorus)And I don't even like pears that well...
