I wasnÂ’t jealous before we met
Now every woman I see
is a potential threat.
And IÂ’m possessive,
it isnÂ’t nice
YouÂ’ve heard me saying
that smoking was my only vice
But now it isnÂ’t true
Now everything is new
And all IÂ’ve learned has overturned
I beg of you...
DonÂ’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk,
a smile and baby I was stuck
I still donÂ’t know
what youÂ’ve done with me
A grown-up woman
should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I donÂ’t have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...
DonÂ’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
DonÂ’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
IÂ’ve had a few little love affairs
They didnÂ’t last very long
and theyÂ’ve been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth
even more incomprehensible
Â’cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all IÂ’ve learned has overturned
What can I do...
DonÂ’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
DonÂ’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
