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
