Love

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

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
