Hem of Your Garment Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am intrinsically no good
I have a heart that's made of wood
And I am only biding time
Only reciting memorized lines

[Chorus]
And I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment
, oh, no, no
I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment, oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
I have no love, but only goals
How very empty is my soul
It is a soul that feels no thrill
It is a soul that could easily kill

[Chorus]
And I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment, oh, no, no
I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment, oh, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no
Uh-huh
[Verse 1]
I am intrinsically no good
I have a heart that's made of wood
And I am only biding time
Only reciting memorized lines

[Chorus]
And I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment, oh, no, no
I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment, oh, no, no
I'm not fit to touch
The hem of your garment, oh, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Alright, oh, no, hey
Oh, hey, hey
Hey, hey
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Hey
Oh, ha, ha

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
