For the life of me I can't believe
That you're on your knees beggin' please
All the pushin' away and putting down

Can't you see you're getting 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 nothing to lose and nothing 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
