Don't go wasting your emotion 
Lay all your love on me 

I wasn't jealous before we met 
Now every man what 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 smart 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 got 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

Don't go wasting your emotion 
Lay all your love on me 
Don't go sharing your devotion 
Lay all your love on me
