Story Behind The Song
My town is half way between two large cities . Many businessmen come to town from Toronto and stay for a night before finishing the trip to Montreal and vice versa. For the price of a good meal, a night out, a few drinks and some clever patter they can get a warm bed and a game of slap and tickle, As long as nobody asks too many questions all is well.
Song Description
Swept off her feet the song brings her to ask the questions she doesn't want answers to . Not treated as well as she wants . She feels she has brought it on herself by ignoring little things. She realizes it's 'time to let him know' The suspicion of cheating and realization of her position (or lack of) in his life. Then she's mad and getting madder as the song goes on. The peek of her anger is the question 'would this be good enough dear, for your little girl ? What makes you think that you dear, can do this to my daddy's little girl?'

Lyrics
More Than A Hat Rack
You believe so much less of me
Where'd you get that from, oh , was it me?
I concede I might have let it go
Now I've got to let you know , you should know
I am more than a hat rack
Better than your booty call
You wonder what is up with that
I deserve more and that's all (2X)
Guess I hoped you'd want me and learn to love someday
But you're so very careful about the things you say
It's like a chess game what you omit to own
Conversation shifting to stay within your comfort zone
When you call me next time you come through town
Do you only call me ,cause she is not around
When you call me if I am hard to find
Baby you can call me
But I might have something else on my mind
I someone offered this dear to your little girl
Would this be good enough dear for your little girl
If someone just like you dear was with your little girl
What makes you think that you dear
Can do this to my daddy's little girl
