Secondhand Love

[Verse 1]
They had a love they could never walk away from
He said she fit him like his favorite jeans
A little tattered with some holes in the pockets
From wearing and then washing them clean
I only hope we share a love just like that
The kind we'd never take nothing for
In fifty years all the shirts of off your back
Folded in that dresser drawer

[Chorus]
Don't give me no secondhand love, no
Don't want no secondhand love, no
I want the kind of love you never let go of
Even when it's hanging by a thread
You sew it up and put it on again

[Verse 2]
Those were the days with sentimental treasures
Were never sold off the dollar rack
He says: "Sweetheart, love's real measure
Is holding on when times get bad."

[Chorus]
Don't give me no secondhand love, no
Don't want no secondhand love, no
I want the kind of love you never let go of
Even when it's hanging by a thread
You sew it up and put it on again

[Bridge]
You now, you put it on again
I want a strong love
I want a pure love
I won't settle for not-so-sure love
We have troubles, but at least they're ours
Don't want nobody's hand-me-downs
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro]
I'm not taking no -
Don't give me no secondhand love
Don't want no secondhand love
I only want the kind you can be sure of
Even when it's hanging by a thread
You sew it up and put it on again
You sew it up and put it on again
