Love
My darling come beside me,
a sister needs a brother.
I got love tattooed across
one hand and more love on the other.
Got a hundred weight of heartache
and I'm chastened as a child can be.
Don't go giving your love,
love, love to anyone else but me.
While others sip in sunshine
I sit inside and shudder,
for I was born a maudlin soul
from which I'll not recover.
Got a cloakroom full of hang ups
hanging further than the eye can see.
Don't go giving your love,
love, love to anyone else but me.
I make up all my friendships
and bathe them in denial.
Some say I'm schizophrenic
but I walk in single file.
Beside myself with loneliness
and craving for your company.
Don't go giving your love,
love, love to anyone else but me.
Now I should take you home,
little darlin', I can't stand the tears.
Uncertainty has riddled me with ennui and fear.
I stagger through existence
feeling permanently scared
and I won't last too long now
if there ain't no one who cares.
Don't give your love,
love, love to anyone else but me.
I'm not superstitious
but I'll curse you if you leave
and if you find another you're
condemning me to misery.
Don't go giving your love,
love, love to anyone else but me.
Don't go giving your love,
love, love to anyone else but me.
