Lay All Your Love On Me Lyrics
A*Teens
Lyrics
don't go wasting your emotion
lay all your love on me
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 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 wasting your emotion
lay all your love on me
don't go sharing your devotion
lay all your love on me
