Hand Me Down - Lyrics by The Wallflowers


Lyrics
Whatever I know too much

You won't be anyone

Now tell me what you are thinking of

How could think you'd be enough

It's not that you've stayed too long

It's not that you've done something wrong

It's not your fault

But you embarrass yourself


Hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good

And you look like you should

But you will never make us proud


You've been used by a army of cues

You've been touched by the lips of a queen

Now we've all made good use of you

But you won't be needed again

So don't you move and let someone else in

Make some room for a new harlequin

It's never enough

So don't disappoint us again


Hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good

And you look like you should

But you won't ever make us proud


Hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good

And you look like you should

But you could never make us proud

Hand me down


So look at you with your worn out shoes

Livin' proof evolution's through

We're stuck with you

This revolution's due


Hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good

And you look like you should

But you could never make us proud


Hand me down

It's better when you're not around

You feel good

And you look like you should

But you won't ever make us proud
