Lyrics
VERSE
Laura, are you listening?
You've been alone and fall in love now so easily
I know the love you feel is real and meant for only me
So before I stay, there's something I must say
Laura, don't expect the same from me
VERSE
Laura, please believe me
When I say there's just no way right now for me to change
Someday the words I'm saying now I hope to rearrange
I want you to know that I love the love you show
But, Laura, don't expect the same from me
CHORUS
Now I'm not trying to say that I can't love you
Because in my own way I already do
But right now I can't return the love I know you need
And it seems such a shame to waste your love on me
VERSE
Now, Laura, understand me
I just may not ever be the kind to settle down
Tomorrow's sun may come to find me looking around
If we say goodbye, there'll be tears in your eyes
But, Laura, don't expect the same from me
Repeat CHORUS
SOLO
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
Oh, Laura, don't waste your love on me
