Marvin Gaye - Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) Lyrics






By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry.
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
for I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
I'm telling you that's my home.
You had romance, did you break it by chance
over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
that I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam, mm,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
mm, that's my home.
Oh, you keep telling me, you keep telling me I'm your man.
What do I have to do to make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy who gives girl the eye,
everybody knows.
But I love them and I leave them,
break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go.
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home.
wherever I lay my hat, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh,
that's my home
and I like it that way.

    Mad respect to Marvin Gaye. I never knew he did this song originally. I really love Paul Young's version because it was released when I was a young girl.

    love it !

    This sounds like my favorite soul singer Sam Cooke.

    B.... D....

    If you are experienced in soul songs, you would not compare the two, their voices are distinctively different.

    B.... D....

    Jevezy - I am well versed in soul music, and actually thought the same thing as Brenden. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mistake their voices for one another, only felt that Marvin’s style of singing is similar to Sam’s in this particular song. Listen to his pronunciation of ‘everywhere’ at 1:47 - that’s classic Sam, right there.
