Wear My Hat

Well, 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
And she said: You've got everything I need, you've got everything I want
So I said: Okay
You can wear my hat, you can have my coat
You can take my shirt, 'cause 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 'cause I love you
And 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, 'cause 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
I got no problem if you love it
Come on, take it if you love it
Love, come on love it
Well, later 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 'cause 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, 'cause 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
Love it, come on, love it
Ain't no problem for me if you want it
Take my hat, take my bags, I don't need nothing
You can wear my hat, you can wear my hat
Come on, wear my hat, wear my hat
You can wear my hat, come on, wear my hat
You can wear my hat, come on, wear my hat
You can take anything you want
Take my bag, it's yours
You can wear my hat, you can wear my hat
Come on, wear my hat, wear my hat
