Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, one
[Instrumental]
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 heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
[PreChorus]
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you
[Chorus]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
[Verse 1]
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk and smile, and baby, I was struck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
[PreChorus]
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you, dear
[Chorus]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
[Instrumental]
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think I was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
[PreChorus]
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do?
[Chorus]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
