Don't go wasting your emotions
You don't need nobody
Can't you see?

She built a castle in the sky
He was a devil in disguise
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
She gave up everything she had
Bet on a love that wouldn't last
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

No, he ain't got a job
And he lives with his mom
Won't admit when he's wrong: Oh, mama

But he talks to his ex
Don't mean no disrespect
Get that boy off your chest
Say bye, bye

Don't go wasting your emotions
You don't need nobody
Can't you see?
Don't go crying out an ocean
Just slam that door and leave
Baby, please

Now give that loving to yourself
Put back that trophy on the shelf
It's time to let it go, whoa-oh

You got more power than you know
You should be looking at the coast
Instead of looking through his phone

No, he ain't got a job
And he lives with his mom
Won't admit when he's wrong: Oh, mama

But he talks to his ex
Don't mean no disrespect
Get that boy off your chest
Say bye, bye

Don't go wasting your emotions
You don't need nobody
Can't you see?
Don't go crying out an ocean
Just slam that door and leave
Baby, please

(Don't go crying out your emotions, no, no)
(No, no, no, no, no)

(Don't go crying out your emotions, no, no)
(No, no, no, no, no)

Your emotions

Don't go wasting your emotions (don't you go)
You don't need nobody ('body)
Can't you see?

(You don't go) don't go crying out an ocean (ocean)
Just slam that door and leave
Baby, please
