Lyrics Lisa Loeb – Hand–Me–Downs

I know we’re in September
And this is my house
And this is my town
But my clothes are in the case

We used to say for fun
Let’s say you lived
And then you did
You were the leader of us all
The perfect fall

You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it’s a decision
So I am leaving

The powder’s in the kitchen
The spoon is on the floor
Your sister says it’s different now
I don’t believe her anymore

And I don’t want your hand-me-downs
They’re old
They’re all worn-out
I don’t wanna hang around
I don’t want your hand-me-downs

So now I’m in this hotel room
I’m free and droning on

The glass is on the counter
The sheets are on the floor
Your sister says it’s not the same
I don’t believe her anymore

And I don’t want your hand-me-downs
They’re old
They’re all worn-out
No, I don’t wanna hang around
I don’t want your hand-me-downs

So you lie yourself to sleep tonight
But you won’t think of me
‘Cause your world revolves around you
Or so it seems
Or so it seems
And you can’t get off
And I can’t get on
Yourself is all you see
So, I don’t wanna hang around
I don’t want your hand-me-downs anymore

You speak to the weak and old picture of me
Everybody says they wanna be free
And it’s a decision
So I am leaving
