[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

[Bridge: Andy Bell]
Don't go sharing your devotion

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, 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

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you nеar
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you, dеar

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
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: Andy Bell]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3: Andy Bell]
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do?

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
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)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me...
