Don't Waste Your Heart

For the life of me, I can't believe
That you're on your knees, beggin': Please
All the pushin'-away, and puttin'-down
Can't you see you're gettin' the runaround?

Oh, it's plain to see that 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

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
And I'm here to apologize, my heart can't compromise
Don't waste your heart on me
