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
