For the life of me I can't believe That you're on you knees beggin' please All the pushin' away and puttin' down Can't you see you're gettin' the run around Oh it's plain to see you'd rescue me From my loneliness so called unhappiness Oh I didn't mean to cause you pain I've got nothin' to lose and nothin' to gain And don't waste your heart on a wild thing She's got a soul that won't settle on one thing Whoa this bird can't sing when you've tied its wings Don't waste your heart on me It's funny how the girls get burned And honey as far as I'm concerned The tables have turned And don't waste your heart on a wild thing She's got a soul that won't settle on one thing Whoa this bird can't sing when you've tied its wings Don't waste your heart on me And I'm here to apologize My heart can't compromise Don't waste your heart on me
