"Old Hat" lyrics

Old Hat

Hello
Sweet friend of mine
I wanna talk
See how you are
What's new?
Are you feeling fine?
Do you like sadly
Do you work all the time?

This whole month
Has been a waste
And I got no taste
For going out
Ever since you left home
I've been shamefaced
But I'd rather be erased
Than hold you down

I never want to be
The old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be
The old hat you put on your pretty head

Now I know I
I talk too much
Worry about things
That can't be controlled
And I can't decide
Always up on the fence
And I don't make no sense
And baby I know that gets old

But I never want to be
The old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be
The old hat you put on your

My tornado love
Tore it all down
Now I'm face down
In all this muddy guilt
And all I wanna
Make you smile again
Warm your heart again
Like an old worn out quilt
Now listen
I'll be your glove
I'll be your scarf
I'll be the cross that covers your heart
I don't want you to get tired of my honey
After such a good start

I never want to be
The old hat you put on your pretty head
I never want to be
The old hat you put on your pretty head
Your pretty head
Your pretty head
Your pretty head
