I wasn't jealous
Before we met
Now every man 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 [bad word] 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
sitting duck
little smalltalk
smile and baby
I was stuck
I still don't know
What you've done with me
grown-up man 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 wasting your emotion
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 [bad word] Even more [bad word] '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
