On the day that I was born they say I came out wearing these same clothes |
|
And since then I've been trying to find out where I got these same clothes |
|
I went to every store asked every tailor there could be |
|
Wondering if somebody had the same clothes as me |
|
And it took a while but I learned there's nobody with these same clothes |
|
And when I wake this morning I'll get up put on these same clothes |
|
And I'll step into the sunlight and start walking in these same clothes |
|
And when the air turns cold and the clouds bring the rain |
|
These clothes they will protect me 'till the skies clear up again |
|
And against the wind I'll button up the collar on these same clothes |
|
And when we first met I'm sure that I was showing off these same clothes |
|
And when I gave my heart to you I did so in these same clothes |
|
And before we first made love you pealed off each one from my skin |
|
'Till there was nothing left to keep you from coming in |
|
And you saw who I am in the absence of these same clothes |
|
When they get dirty I wash them with care oh these same clothes |
|
And when they lose a button oh they tear in these same clothes |
|
Now most days when I dwell on not what is but what is not |
|
I look at other people and all the clothes they've got |
|
Until I realize I could have nothing but these same clothes |
|
And our children will know what it means to have a loving home |
|
But there are things they will have to figure out on their own |
|
And I promise I won't ever try to make them wear these same clothes |
|
No No |
|
Ohh Ooo ooh |
|
Ohh Ooo ooh |
|
Oooh Ohh Do do do |
|
When I leave this world please separate me from these same clothes |
|
Just burn them into ash no one can ever wear these same clothes |
|
And if you knew me well you know how much I cherished you |
|
Remember that I wore these clothes the only way I knew |
|
And I was happy and I was blessed and how I loved to wear these same clothes |
|
Yes I was happy and I was blessed and how I loved to wear these same clothes |
|
Yeah I was happy and I was blessed and how I loved to wear these same clothes |
|
Alright Oooh ooh ooh |
|
Alright Oooh ooh ooh |
|
Oooh ooh do do do |
|
Oooh ooh ooh ooh do do do |
