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 smalltalk, 
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
