Lyrics Don't Waste Your Heart - The Chicks

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 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 nothin' to lose and nothin' to gain

You 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

You 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
