Gilbert O'sullivan - I Have My Coat To Keep Me Warm lyrics

Well I've waited now for what three whole weeks And she hasn't called me up once Had I known she liked me as much as this I wouldn't have prayed she'd rung Keep your love I don't need it As the day begins to dawn I have my coat to keep me warm If it weren't so much that we need them Then I think that I'd do without Now I know what's meant when a heart is broke And what all the fuss is about Keep your distance I've told you For at least when there's a storm I have my coat to keep me warm And a coat won't hurt you It won't desert you It will not let you down come to think of it Even if it doesn't fit And a coat won't hurt you It won't desert you It's always by your side if you need it Even if it doesn't fit Put your faith in someone and what do you get Well if you're as lucky as me You'll be made to look like a piece of dirt Spelt S.H.I.T Could be worse don't I know it And even if the sleeves are torn I have my coat to keep me warm Better of out of love than in it Causes nothing but sorrow and pain I'd recommend that of course you try it Then again then again
