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 [Em] your love on [C7] me
(Don't go sharing your devotion)
It was [Am7] like [F] shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and [Bm] baby I was [Am7] stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall [Em] so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you [A7] near
Unsatisfied, I skip my [A] pride
I beg you [A7] dear
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all [Em] your love on [C7] me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all [Em] your love on [C7] me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long [Am] and [Bm] they've been pretty scarce
I used to [C7] think I was [Am7] sensible
It makes the tɾuth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all [Em] I've learned has overturned
What can I do
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all [Em] your love on [C7] me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all [Em] your love on [C7] me
