Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) (Extended Version)
Mmm-mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm
By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry, is it over me?
If it is save your tears for I'm not worth it, you see?
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
I'm telling you that's my home
You had romance, did you break it by chance? Over me
If it's so I'd like for you to know that I'm not worth it, you see?
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam, hmm-mm
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
Hmm-mm, that's my home
Oh, you keep telling me, you keep telling me, "I'm your man"
What do I have to do to make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy who gives the girl the eye, everybody knows
But I love them and I leave them, break their hearts and deceive them, everywhere I go
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam?
Ooh-la-la-la-la-la, wherever I lay my hat that's my home
Wherever I lay my hat, oh-oh, that's my home
Hmm-mm, yeah, that's my home
And I like it that way, mmm-mm
Ooh, la-la, la-la, la-la, lala, la-la-la
Doobie-do, do-do, do-do
La-dum, la-da-de-dada, do-do-do, hmm-mm
I'm done telling you that I don't want nobody home
Ah-ha-ha, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
You know I can't make it on the phone
Sometimes that's the way, that's the way
I'm not sad, I'm not saying I don't love you
Just gotta do what I want to do
That's what I want to do
Alone at home
It feels so warm
Whoa, I got to go
I'm not saying you don't mean nothing to me
Not staying, no, no, I just go on my way
Do-do-do-do, you're everything a man could want
But sometime, oh, I have to go my own way
Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta
Mmm-mm, mm-mm-mm, uh-oh
A-doobie-down, yeah, do-do-do
A-doobity-down, dapa, be-baba, la-la, do-do
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Tell me I just walk away, yeah
Mmm-mm-mm
By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry, is it over me?
