Am I Wasting My Love On You? — Richard Thompson

Oh I can't get started, and I'm broken hearted You smile so sweet but you're fast on your feet Do you want me to catch you, or just get near? Should I chase you forever? I think I got the idea

Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Must be better things I can do

Oh I went to a party, you were standing there You looked so retiring with that fruit in your hair I said "What gives?" and you said "I do" And that was the last sense I ever got from you

Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Must be better things I can do

Well I'm wasting my love, wasting my love, wasting my love on you Wasting my love, wasting my love, wasting my love on you

Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Must be better things I can do

I went to your house, and I drank your tea We were getting very cosy on Greek philosophy You chewed on my ear and when I begged for more You went off to bed, barricaded the door

Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Am I wasting my love on you? Must be better things I can do Than wasting my love, wasting my love, wasting my love on you Am I wasting my love, wasting my love, wasting my love on you I'm wasting my love, wasting my love, wasting my love on you Am I wasting my love, wasting my love, wasting my love on you
