"Don't Waste Your Heart" lyrics

For the life of me
I can't believe that you're on your knees
Beggin', "Please."
All the pushing-away and putting-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

So, 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

So, 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

I'm here to apologize
My heart can't compromise
Don't waste your heart on me
