Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) Lyrics
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, mm.
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
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,
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home.
Wherever I lay my hat, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh,
that's my home
and I like it that way.
mmm oooooooooooh nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
ahhhhhhh woooooooh nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
You know I can't, make it on the phone.
Sometimes that's the way, that's the way...
I'm not saying,
I'm not saying I don't love you,
just gotta do...
(fade out)
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.
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, mm.
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
mm, that's my home.
What do I have to do... to make you understand?
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, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh,
that's my home
and I like it that way.
ahhhhhhh woooooooh nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Sometimes that's the way, that's the way...
I'm not saying,
I'm not saying I don't love you,
just gotta do...

My first lyric post. I'm surprised that hardly anyones comment on Paul Young. WILMH(TMH) is one of his best
This is a great song, Paul Young sings it so well.
Great song, great voice.
The meaning of this song is an obvious one.
A man who is only interested in the sexual side of a relationship Telling a poor girl whose fallen in love with him that he isn't worth the tears as he doesn't allow his heart to feel - that he is only interested in sex and thats all he is willling to give. He is only into chasing women
Where ever I lay my hat thats my home
Whoever gives it up is where he stays till he's bored and onto the next
Or to put it a little more nicely, about someone who just isn't ready for committment hehe

And it doesn't say "You know I can't, make it on the phone."
And it doesn't say "You know I can't, make it on the phone."
It's "I can't make it all alone" :)
It's "I can't make it all alone" :)
ME BUT THE LADY VERSION
I have been in love with a man who has this attitude for over 40 years,I fell for him as soon as I saw him,I was in my mid teens & he was 19 .......I have since married someone else......am happy,but I will ALWAYS love the 1st one ,he has,been in touch recently,but just couldn't hurt my husband , my choice..but I will never forget my "Lover" He knows who he is, I will never get over you xx
this is why i can't get close to anybody anymore.... will never change
Song is obvious. Wait till the right woman comes along. He will be singing a different song
