lay all your love on me

i wasn't jealous before we met

now every man 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

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 man 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 it 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
