Lyrics

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
