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 disguis (whoah-oh, whoah-oh)
She gave up everything she had
Bet on a love that wouldn't last (whoah-oh, whoah-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 (whoah-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)

(Your emotions)

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
