I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, and it isn't nice
You heard me saying that drinking is 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

And then I found out that I was stuck
A little small talk, a smile, and baby, I was fucked
I still don't know what you have 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

And don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
And don't go shaving your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and now they're pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

Now everything is new
Everything is new
And everything is you
And everything is you
And all I've learned is overturned
What can I do?

And don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
And don't go shaving your devotion
Lay all your love on me

And don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
And don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
