"Lay All Your Love On Me" lyrics

ABBA Lyrics

"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

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

Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus wanted the chorus of this song to sound like a hymn. So, they used a vocoder and ran vocals through it to imitate the sound of a church choir singing slightly out of tune.
This song was released only as a 12-inch single in 1981, rather than as a standard 7-inch record.
Helloween covered this song for their cover album "Metal Jukebox" in 1999.
This song was covered by Avantasia on their EP "Lost in Space Part I" (2007).
