Lyrics
Now and then an old friend tries to help me
By telling me there’s someone that I should meet
Hey, but I don’t have the heart to start all over
‘Cause my heart is laying at another’s feet
You just don’t put new patches on old garments
Hey, I don’t want no one else on my mind
I just don’t need nobody new to cling to, Lord
‘Cause I still love someone I’ve known a long, long time
I have built my world around a memory
And she’s the only one that I let in
‘Cause every time I’ve tried to love somebody, Lord
In my mind I’m loving her again
You just don’t put new patches on old garments
Hey, and I don’t want no one else on my mind
I just don’t need nobody new to cling to, Lord
‘Cause I still love someone I’ve known a long, long time
Yes, I still love someone I’ve known a long, long time
