saving all my love for you

Singer:waits, tom

it's too early for the circus

it's too late for the bars

everyone's sleepin'

but the paperboys

and no one in this town is makin' any noise

but the dogs

and the milkmen and me

the girls around here all look like cadillacs

no one likes a stranger here

i'd come home but i'm afraid that you won't take me back

but i'd trade off

everything just to have you near

i know i'm irresponsible and i don't behave

and i ruin everything that i

do

and i'll probably get arrested when i'm in my grave

but i'll be savin'

all my love for you

i paid fifteen dollars for a prostitute

with too much makeup and a broken

shoe

but her eyes were just a counterfeit

she tried to gyp me out of it

but

you know that i'm still in love you

don't listen to the rumors that you hear about me

cause i ain't as bad as

they make me out to be

well i may lose my mind but baby can't you see

that

i'll be savin' all my love for you
