New Patches Songtext
von Mel Tillis

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
