Verse 1: I wasn't jealous Before we met Now every man that I see Is a potential threat And I'm possessive It isn't nice You've heard me saying The smoking was my only vice
Bridge: But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned Has overturned I beg of you
Chorus: Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me
Verse 2: It was like shooting A sitting duck A little smalltalk A smiled baby I was stuck I still don't know What you've done with me A grown-up man should Never fall so easily
Bridge: I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied I skip my pride I beg you dear
Chorus: Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me
Verse 3: 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
Bridge: 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned Has overturned What can I do
