Saving All My Love For You

Tom Waits · Heart Attack & Vine [1990]

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 looks like Cadillacs

And 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 with 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
