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 walked on it
It seems no one will ever want it
My heart's like a welcome mat
