{Intro}
Don’t go wasting your emotions
You don’t need nobody, can’t you see?

{Verse 1}
She built a castle in the sky
He was a devil in disguise, whoa, whoa
She gave up everything she had
Bet on a love that wouldn’t last, whoa, whoa

{Pre-Chorus}
No he ain’t got a job
And he lives with his mom
Don’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”

{Chorus}
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

{Verse 2}
Now give that lovin’ to yourself
Put back that trophy on the shelf
It’s time to let it go, whoa
You got more power than you know
You should be lookin’ at the coast
Instead of looking through his phone

{Pre-Chorus}
No he ain’t got a job
And he lives with his mom
Don’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”

{Chorus}
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

{Bridge}
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Don’t go crying out your emotions
No, no, no, no, no, no
Don’t go crying out your emotions
No, no, no, no, no, no
Your emotions

{Chorus}
Don’t go wasting your emotions
(Don’t you go)
You don’t need nobody, can’t you see?
(You don’t)
Don’t go crying out an ocean
Just slam that door and leave, baby, please
