Waits, Tom - 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 look like cadillacs, 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 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

  1. C.... A....

    Some people are original and others just copy others. Dombrowski knows the difference. LOL.

  2. C.... B....

    This is the first song I heard from him. In 1982.
    I admire this man and his style to present his music.
    Truthful.
    He sounds like life is.

  3. A.... S....

    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.

    I.... A....

    I.... A....

    Hilarious! Laughed way too hard...

  8. H.... S....

    Memories of Nic Myall, being 19, a sunny day and feeling immortal.....and being in love......

  9. B.... ....

    It's Sunday morning and it's sunny
    and someone hollered "bon appetit!"
    I was in love but love sounds funny 
    when honey tastes like sympathy.

  10. S.... N....

    Tom Wait is the Charles Bukowski of music. Just digging into Bukowskis Ham on Rye novel.

    S.... N....

    Done all of his books. Can't read anything else by other authors, it's just crap.

    S.... N....

    a s that is fun.

    S.... N....

    Stan Nelson Check out Waits reading Buk.

  11. E.... ....

    Tom Waits is the Charles Bukowski of music ! He is the music industries poetic unsung hero.

  12. m.... ....

    look again ;)

  13. C.... H....

    most beautiful love song ever written

  14. f.... ....

    i was in dire straits once,Mark Knopfler asked me to leave...

  15. I.... m....

    "and I'll probably get arrested when I'm in my grave" This album is an all-time fave, think I heard it everyday for 3 years back in the day and I never get tired of it. A masterpiece!

  16. W.... E....

    This guy is doing a very bad impression of Louis Armstrong!!!!!!!

  17. C.... A....

    simply amazing...

  18. L.... C....

    The texture of his voice was at his best!

  19. B.... A....

    I'm so happy I was lucky enough to befriend older people and learn about Tom Waits. I've been listening to him since I was about 12 and I'm 17 now. And he is at the top of my list. Love this man. Thank you Tom, for such beautiful, emotional music. You've gotten me through Hell and back. <3

  20. s.... ....

    christi,thanx for posting,a lot !!

  21. J.... G....

    yes, people should listen to dire straits rather than be there.

  22. J.... M....

    Take out the prostitute part and you got my life.

    J.... M....

    Jose María Muñoz Gaitán add it & you have mine!

    J.... M....

    Quite a bargain at $15 👍

  23. M.... ....

    not forgetting Saturday Night

  24. M.... F....

    this as far as i am concerned is one of his best albums along with raindogs and swordfishstrombones in my humble opinion

  25. S.... M....

    This was the first Tom Waits song I ever heard, it was at my mates house about 25 years ago.
    The man is a genius, what more can I say?

  26. V.... G....

    Have been saving all my love for you...have you near me...make my wish come true.

  27. f.... ....

    Why does YOUTUBE show only my views?

  28. a.... ....

    That string chorus makes his residual roughness the more precise. "Her eyes were the counterfeit....." indeed. Used to paint to this in the late 70s.

  29. M.... ....

    Pure genius... His songs haunt me in my dreams. I hate you for that, Tom - and I love you for that. Thank you, thank you so much.

  30. S.... B....

    wheres the LOVE button xox thanks for sharing:}

  31. S.... ....

    Crazy. Only 1300 listens. What is this world coming to?!?!? We are in dire straits, indeed.

  32. S.... ....

    Incredible album.
