I wasnt jealous before we met

Now every man I see is a potential threat

And Im possessive, it isnt nice

Youve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice

But now it isnt true

Now everything is new

And all Ive learned has overturned

I beg of you......

Dont 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 dont know what youve done with me

A grown-up man should never fall so easily

I feel a kind of fear

When I dont have you near

Unsatisfied, I skip my pride

I beg you dear......

Dont go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Dont go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

Ive had a few little love affairs

They didnt last very long and theyve 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 Ive learned has overturned

What can I do......

Dont go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Dont go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me
