Lay All Your Love On Me

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 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 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 that 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.

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 wasting your emotion,

lay all your love on me.
