Faces — Three Button Hand Me Down

[Verse 1] I don't need no one's opinion On the matter concerning my dress I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma There were many things I did not possess I never complained, because my father said "Son you'll get your chance before you're my age" Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit Written all over his face [Chorus] He said, "Others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'" Three button hand me down Three button hand me down [Verse 2] I had my fair share of neat women But they came between me and my suit That was a filly from Boston, a barmaid from Houston Not forgetting the one in Detroit They said, "We like you boy and we think you're sweet But can't you lose your suit?" I said, "No, you can't do that to me" I remember what my father said: [Chorus] He said, "Others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'" Three button hand me down, haha Three button hand me down [Verse 3] I've never been a tidy dresser And the fold in my trousers it ain't straight Still I know a good cloth when I see one That's why I'm clad in this gray flannel suit Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor And get myself a smooth outfit Then I remember what my father said to me I'll make you from the open road [Chorus] He said, "Others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you go" Three button hand me down Three button hand me down, haha
