Lay All Your Love
Dominic Cooper & Amanda Seyfried Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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

Line by Line Meaning
I wasn't jealous before we met
I never thought I was a jealous person until I met you
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
Since I met you, I see other women as competition for your love
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
I know I'm being unreasonable, but I can't help feeling possessive of you
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
I used to think my only bad habit was smoking
But now it isn't true
Since I fell in love with you, I've realized I have other flaws
Now everything is new
Being with you has changed my perspective on everything
And all I've learned has overturned
I thought I had life figured out, but you've made me see things differently
I beg of you
I'm pleading with you to understand how I feel
Don't go wasting your emotion
Don't spend your love on someone who doesn't deserve it
Lay all your love on me
Give your love to me and only me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
I fell in love with you very easily
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I was captivated by your charm and didn't want to let go
I still don't know what you've done with me
I'm amazed at how much you've changed me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel like I should be more mature, but my love for you is too strong
I feel a kind of fear
When you're not around, I get anxious
When I don't have you near
I feel lost without you
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I'm willing to do anything to keep you in my life, even if it means sacrificing my pride
Don't go sharing your devotion
Don't give your love to anyone else
I've had a few little love affairs
I've had some short-term relationships in the past
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
My previous relationships didn't work out and I haven't had many of them
I used to think that was sensible
I thought it was smart to avoid getting attached to anyone
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
I can't believe how much my feelings for you have changed my outlook on relationships
What can I do
I'm at a loss for what to do without you in my life

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

Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
