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
