Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) - 1963 Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

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
Yeah, yeah

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
Yeah

You keep telling your friends that I'm your man
What do I have to do to make you understand?
For I′m the type of guy who gives girl the eye
Everybody knows
Love 'em and leave ′em
Break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go

Oh I'm the type of guys who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
That′s my home, mm yeh
That′s my home
And I like it that way
