For the life of me I can't believe

The you're on your knees beggin' please

All the pushing' away and puttin' down

Can't you see you're gettin' the run around

Oh it's plain to see you'd rescure 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
