Tom Waits - Saving All My Love For You




It`s too early for the circus,
It`s too late for the bars,
no one`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.
