LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME

SKY
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 -

SOPHIE
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 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

SKY
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all you love on me
BOYS
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

SOPHIE
I’ve had a few little love affairs
They didn’t last very long and they’ve been pretty scarce
SKY
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
SOPHIE
‘Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I’ve learned
Has over turned
What can I do?

SKY/PEPPER/EDDIE/BOYS
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
GIRLS
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Original lyric:


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 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 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 you 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 over turned
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

Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
