"Don't Hand Me No Hand-Me-Down Love" lyrics

You've slept on a hundred pillows
And never woke up ashamed
Your body burns with such thirsty heat
But your fire has no flame
And me, I'm slowly goin' deaf
As you whisper in my ear
Stories of your past women
This woman don't need to hear

Don't hand me no hand-me-down love
I've been pushed too far to stand your shove
Don't you know it's you and not me that you're thinkin' of
So don't hand me no hand-me-down love

I pack your old buckskin suitcase
But all you own is a smile
And I hope the walk through my front door
Will be your longest mile
'Cause me, I so need to believe
That each embrace is the first
Give your blessing to too many loves
And the kiss of your lips is cursed

Don't hand me no hand-me-down love
I've been pushed too far to stand your shove
Don't you know it's you and not me that you're thinkin' of
So don't hand me no hand-me-down love
No, don't hand me (No, don't hand me)
No hand-me-down love
