She came looking for me with her arms open wide,
|
like some long lost friend of mine.
|
|
She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me ?'
|
I said 'No, I don't believe I do'
|
So she looked me up and down
|
and undressed me with her eyes,
|
then she said 'You've got everything I need, you've got everything I want'
|
|
So I said 'OK,
|
|
you can wear my hat,
|
you can have my coat,
|
you can take my shirt
|
'cos I don't need it.
|
You can wear my shoes,
|
you can take my socks,
|
come on take my bag it's yours
|
|
If you love it,
|
you can have it if you love it,
|
ain't no problem if you love it,
|
come on take it if you love it.
|
|
So her friend came up to me
|
with a pen and paper in her hand,
|
expressing some interest in the number of my room,
|
She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me? '
|
I said 'No,' she said 'Can I appeal to you?'
|
|
So I looked her up and down
|
and realising her insinuations I blushed
|
she said 'Listen babe you don't know me,
|
no you don't know me but you owe me,
|
|
and I love you,
|
yes I love you,
|
put your arms around me 'cos I love you,
|
I got all your records and I love you'
|
|
So I suggested
|
|
you can wear my hat,
|
you can have my coat,
|
you can take my shirt
|
'cos I don't need it.
|
You can wear my shoes,
|
you can take my socks,
|
come on take my bag it's yours
|
|
If you love it,
|
you can have it if you love it,
|
ain't no problem if you love it,
|
come on take it if you love it.
|
|
Well later on that day this guy came to me
|
with a scrap of paper in his hand
|
he said 'Hey buddy can you sign your name for me?'
|
I said 'Why, do I owe you money?' He said 'No'
|
I said 'Listen pal do I know you? Have we ever met?
|
Why do you want my name on this little piece of paper?
|
|
He said 'I love you,
|
I don't know you but I love you,
|
like my brother I love you,
|
put your arms around me 'cos I love you'
|
|
I said 'Hey let's not rush things
|
|
you can wear my hat,
|
you can have my coat,
|
you can take my shirt
|
'cos I don't need it.
|
You can wear my shoes,
|
you can take my socks,
|
come on take my bag it's yours
|
|
If you love it,
|
you can have it if you love it,
|
ain't no problem if you love it,
|
come on take it if you love it.
|
|
You can wear my hat,
|
You can wear my hat,
|
You can wear my hat,
|
Come on wear my hat.'
