Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me I wasn't jealous before we met Now everyone I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that small care was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned has all but hurt my big old you Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me 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'll skip my pride I beg for tears Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me
