I wasn´t jealous before we met
Now every man 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 small talk, 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 it 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
