ABBA Lay All Your Love On Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you

[Chorus]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you, dear

[Chorus]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do?

[Chorus]
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
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

If you’re listening this music in 2024 and after… thank you for having a good taste

[CheeseLoverRed]

Recorded in the 1980's, but still sounds fresh today.

i'm literally sitting in my bed at 0:22 am listening to this song while closing my eyes. goosebumps. this is so good.

[roanlindeman]

This song is so amazing. ABBA is one of the best music bands ever with Queen

[DragonsDream]

I've been a fan of Abba for years but for some reason never heard this song before, so this song feels like a hidden gem for me 💎

[edcliffe]

My favourite ABBA song. Wonder why it never got more play time on the radio.

[Ard-mhacha-abu]

ABBA were one of the earliest pioneers of electronic sounds. This track is proof of that.

[antoninocammarata]

Abba does not get enough credit and is so under rated

[Cece-ggmi]

People pressed when we come from tik tok but it actually helps the artist and we discover new songs like chill yall

EDIT : Since there is a lot of drama for a youtube comment I wish to apologize if I was rude to anyone. I did overract. ABBA doesnt need "help" I was just talking in general ^^

[zamahkingmultiversus]

All their songs have an unique vibe. Such a legendary band

[mars]

This song goes with every legendary moment

[musicmind]

Is there any other band in history who has written and sung songs like these? Just look at the rhythm.. look at the lyrics... and one is overawed by the sheer genius of ABBA. I think there has been none other like these guys and never will be. Agreed?

[riadia.x]

All those years I was singing " I was in jail just before we met"

[proflex]

When I was a kid, my mom used to listen this song a lot. In 2023 I find out that this is an ABBA song, which is a big surprise considering that I'm an ABBA fan.

[dramaticvirghoe]

IMAGINE VIBING TO THIS IN A SKATE ROLLING RINK WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED!!!

[genuineinterest]

Me: *sees any ABBA song with unfamiliar title*
Me: maybe I actually don't know this one huh let's see
Me one (1) second in: never mind
