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
