Lay All Your Love on Me
Michael Michailoff Lyrics

I wasn't jealous before we met
I never felt jealous in my life until I met you

Now every man I see is a potential threat
Since I met you, I can’t help feeling that every man I encounter could be a potential danger to our relationship

And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
I recognize that I have become possessive, which is not a healthy or positive trait for any relationship

You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
Before meeting you, I often mentioned that smoking was my only bad habit or addiction

But now it isn't true
Since being involved with you, I realized that I have other vices or weaknesses that I never noticed before

Now everything is new
With you, everything feels fresh and different than anything I have experienced before

And all I've learned has overturned
Being with you has forced me to reconsider my beliefs and actions, as you challenge me in ways that I never expected

I beg of you
I plead with you

Don't go wasting your emotion
Don’t put all of your energy or feelings into people or activities that don’t benefit us

Lay all your love on me
Focus all of your love and devotion solely on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
Being with you felt effortless, like shooting a bird that was not even trying to fly away

A little small talk, a smile and baby how I was stuck
Our first interaction was simple and easy, just a bit of conversation and a smile, and I was immediately hooked and unable to escape your grasp

I still don't know what you've done with me
I am still unsure how you have managed to have such a profound impact on my emotions and actions

A grown-up man should never fall so easily
As an adult, I should not be so quickly and deeply enamored with someone

I feel a kind of fear
When we are apart or distant, I feel a sense of unease and worry

When I don't have you near
When you are not close to me or within reach

Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
If I feel unsatisfied or unhappy in our relationship, I will put my ego aside and admit my faults and shortcomings

Don't go sharing your devotion
Do not invest love and affection in anyone else besides me

I've had a few little love affairs
I had some brief relationships before meeting you

They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
These relationships were not very successful or long-lasting and were infrequent

I used to think that was sensible
In the past, I believed that casual love affairs without emotional investment were practical and logical

It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
Now, being with you and experiencing true love, those past relationships seem even more difficult to understand and justify

And everything is you
You are the center of my world, and everything I do or think revolves around you
