New Patches

(Tommy Collins)



Now and then an old friend tries to help me

By telling me there's someone I should meet

But I don't have the heart to start all over

'Cause my heart is laying at another's feet.



Chorus:

You just don't put new patches on old garments

I don't want no one else on my mind

I just don't need nobody new to cling to

I still love someone I've known a long, long time.



I have built my world around a mem'ry

And she's the only one that I let in

Ev'ry-time I've tried to love somebody

In my mind I'm loving her again.



Chorus:

You just don't put new patches on old garments

I don't want no one else on my mind

I just don't need nobody new to cling to

I still love someone I've known a long, long time...
