Hand Me Down World

The Guess Who

Written by Kurt Winter



- peaked at #17 in 1970



Anybody here see the noise, see the fear and commotion

I think we missed it

Anybody here see the love, see the hate, the emotion



Don't give me no hand me down shoes

Don't give me no hand me down love

Don't give me no hand me down world

I got one already



Anybody here see the long-distance cheer for the notion

Well, I think we missed it

Anybody here see the sky weepin' tears for the ocean



Don't give me no hand me down shoes

Don't give me no hand me down love

Don't give me no hand me down world

I got one already



------ lead guitar ------



Anybody here see the fuzzy-wuzzy lovin' cup explosion

I think we missed it

Anybody here see the changing of the year and emotion



Don't give me no hand me down shoes

Don't give me no hand me down love

Don't give me no hand me down world

I got one already



(Don't give me no hand me down world)

I don't really need it and I'm not gonna take it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

A-don't give it to me 'cause I really don't want it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

I don't wanna take it and I really don't need it, no

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

I don't wanna take it and I really don't need it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

I don't wanna take it, I don't wanna take it 'cause I really don't need it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

You know I don't want it, know I don't need it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

You know I don't want it, know I don't need it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

You know I don't want it and I'm not gonna take it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

I don't wanna take it 'cause I don't really need it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

Just don't give it to me, don't wanna take it

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

Gimme no, gimme no, no-no no-no-no

(Don't give me no hand me down world)

Don't wanna take it 'cause I don't really need it
