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
