Late one night I heard a knock at the door
The boys were really painting the town
I was just another bored teenage boy
Kickin' up and actin' the clown
Yeah
One dare led to another dare
Then things were getting out of control
We hopped the fence and we stole the pears
And I threw away a part of my soul
Yes, I threw away a part of my soul Now it's
Haunting me how I stole those pears
'Cause I loved the wrong
Even though I knew a better way
Not for hunger or poverty
It was more than pears that I ended up
throwin' away Yeah
Time goes by, now I'm old and grey
Those pears are just a memory
I would gladly pay all I have today
But that's just not the problem you see 'cause it's
Haunting me how I stole those pears
'Cause I loved the wrong
Even though I knew a better way
Not for hunger or poverty
It was more than pears that I ended up
throwin' away Yeah Yeah
Why do we love all the things that are wrong
Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song
Why do we do what we don't wanna do
When we live with regrets our whole lifethrough
Haunting me how I stole those pears
'Cause I loved the wrong
Even though I knew a better way
Not for hunger or poverty
It was more than pears that I ended up
throwin' away Yeah Yeah
oow
And I don't even like pears that well
