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

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

 

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

 

On And On And On

 

I was at a party and this fella said to me

"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree

People care for nothing, no respect for human rights

Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"

I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?"

He got kinda wary as he looked around the room

He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state"

I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great

Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?"

He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

 

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

 

Over in the corner I could see this other guy

He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye

So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star

Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar

And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me

He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we?

What's our situation, do we have some time for us?"

I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus

He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?"

I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

 

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

 

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on
