Wear my hat - Reported Speech Song

Wear my hat – Phil Collins

Well he came looking for me with her arms open wide like some long lost friend of mine
She said, "Excuse me, but do you remember me?"
I said, "No, I don't believe I do"

So she looked me up and down and undressed me with her eyes
Then she said, "You've got everything I need, you’ve got everything I want", so I said, "Okay"

[Chorus]

"You can wear my hat, you can have my coat
You can take my shirt 'cos I don't need it
You can wear my shoes, you can take my socks
Come on take my bag, it's yours"
"If you love it
You can have it if you love it
Ain't no problem if you love it
Come on take it if you love it"

So her friend came up to me with a pen and paper in her hand, expressing some interest in the number of my room

She said, "Excuse me, but do you remember me?"
I said, "No", she said, "Can I appeal to you?"

So I looked her up and down and realizing her insinuations I blushed
She said, "Listen to me, you don't know me, no, you don't know me but you owe me"

"And I love you, yes, I love you
Put your arms around me 'cos I love you
And I got all your records and I love you"
So I suggested

[Chorus]

Well later on that day this guy came to me with a scrap of paper in his hand
He said, 'Hey buddy, can you sign your name for me?"
I said, "Why, do I owe you money?" he said, "No"
I said, "Listen, pal, do I know you? Have we ever met? Why do you want my name on this little piece of paper?
He said, "I love you, I don't know you but I love you, like my brother, I love you, put your arms around me 'cos I love you"
I said, "Hey let's not rush things"

[Chorus]
