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
