Tom Waits Saving All My Love for You lyrics

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
