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
