Lyrics[]
Sophie:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Sky:
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every man that 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 your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Both:
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?
Sky:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Sophie:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
