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
    (Don't go sharing your devotion)
    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 I 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
    (repeat and fade)
