The Pretentious Illiterate

I wasn't jealous before we met,
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And Im 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 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!
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...



Please... make it stop!
