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 o - verturned
I beg of you

Don't go wasting your e - mo - tion
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 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 e - mo - tion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your de - vo - tion
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 I was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has o - verturned
What can I do

Don't go wasting your e - mo - tion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your de - vo - tion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go wasting your e - mo - tion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your de - vo - tion
Lay all your love on me
