Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Well 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

And 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 need 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

I got 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 "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 but you owe me

And I love you, yes I love you

Put your arms around me cos i love you

And 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 need 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

I got no problem if you love it

Come on take it if you love it

Love, come on love it

Well later that day this guy came to me with a scrap of paper in his hand

He said "Hey buddy! Can you sign you name for me"

I said "No, 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 need 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

I got no problem if you love it

Come on take it if you love it

Ain't no problem for me if you want it

Take my hat take my bags, I don't need nothing

You can wear my hat, you can wear my hat

Come on wear my hat, you can wear my hat

You can wear my hat, come one wear my hat

You can wear my hat, come on wear my hat
