MY HEART'S LIKE A WELCOME MAT
Written by Jim Reeves and Al Courtney
(Recorded c. Late 1949)


My heart's like a welcome mat;
Like some old coat or some old hat;
It plays a game of tit-for-tat;
My heart's like a welcome mat.

It never knows which way to turn;
Like a child that's twice been burned;
It never knows which way to go;
It only knows I love you so.

My heart's like a welcome mat;
Like a little mouse when it sees a cat;
It's only song is pitter-pat;
My heart's like a welcome mat.

My heart's like a welcome mat;
Like a little mouse when it sees a cat;
It's only song is pitter-pat;
My heart's like a welcome mat.

It never knows which way to turn;
Like a child that's twice been burned;
It never knows which way to go;
It only knows I love you so.

My heart's like a welcome mat;
She walked on it, now you've walked on it;
It seems no one will ever want it;
My heart's like a welcome mat.
