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 [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 a sitting duck 
little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck 
I still don't know what you've done with me 
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 [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 
Don't go sharing your devotion 
Lay all your love on me
