Cornell Campbell - Wherever I Lay My Hat lyrics

rate me

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 a 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.

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home

That's my home.

Oh

You keep telling me

You keep telling me I'm your man.

What do I have to do make you understand?

For I'm the type of guy

Who gives a 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?

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home

Yeah, that's my home -

I don't like it that way.

Doo-doo-be-do-be-do-daaaaah...

You know I can't make it all alone, sometimes that's

The way, that's the way

I'm not saying

I'm not saying I don't love you.

Just got to do what I want to do

That's what I want to do

Feels so cold...

But I'm not saying

You don't mean nothing to me

I'm not saying that no, no

No - I just want my way de-doo-doo-de

You're everything a man could want

But sometimes oh I have to go my own way.
