I wasn't jealous before we met

Now every woman I see

is a potential threat.

And I'm possessive,

it isn't nice

You've heard me saying

that smoking was my only vice

But now it isn't true

Now everything is new

And all I've learned has overturned

I beg of you...



Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me



It was like shooting a sitting duck

A little smalltalk,

a smile and baby I was stuck

I still don't know

what you've done with me

A grown-up woman

should never fall so easily

I feel a kind of fear

When I don't have you near

Unsatisfied, I skip my pride

I beg you dear...



Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me



I've had a few little love affairs

They didn't last very long

and they've been pretty scarce

I used to think that was sensible

It makes the truth

even more incomprehensible

'cause everything is new

And everything is you

And all I've learned has overturned

What can I do...



Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotïon

Lay all your love on me
