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 true 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
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was
stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A 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 truth even more incomprehensible
'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
