(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...
