LoveĀ³

Album: A Coming Of Age [2010]
Author: Andrew Laidlaw

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
