Someday they'll find your small town world on a big town avenue,
Gonna make you like the way they talk when they're talking to you,
Gonna make you break out of your shell `cause they tell you to,
Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth...
They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say,
They're gonna break your heart...
Yeah, from what I've seen:
You're just one more hand me down,
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need..
So lay all your troubles down, I am with you now...
Somebody oughta take you in try to make you love again,
Try to make you like the way they feel when they're under your skin.
Never once do you think that they would lie when they're holding you,
And you wonder why they haven't called when they said they'd call you...
You start to wonder if you're ever gonna make it by,
You start to think you were born blind...
From what I've seen,
You're just one more hand me down,
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need,
So lay all your troubles down, I am with you now...
I'm here for the hard times, the straight to your heart times...
When livin' ain't easy...
You can stand up against me and maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah...
Someday they'll open up your world,
Shake it down to the drawing board,
Do their best to change you,
They still can't erase you...
From what I've seen:
You're just one more hand me down
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need,
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now, lay them down on me..
You're just one more hand me down
And all those nots don't give you what you need.
