I wasn't jealous

Before we met

Now every man I see

Is a pontential 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 man 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

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go sharing your devotion

Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me...
