Lyrics Lay All Your Love on Me - Karen Elson

(One, two, one)

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 heard me sayin' that smokin' was my only vice

But now it isn't true
Now everythin' is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you

Don't go wastin' your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk and smile, and baby I was struck
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 wastin' your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharin' 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 I was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

'Cause everythin' is new
And everythin' is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do?

Don't go wastin' your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharin' your devotion
Lay all your love on me
