Richard Thompson
Am I Wasting My Love On You?
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Well, 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
[Verse 3]
I went to your house
And I drank your tea
We were getting very cosy
On Greek philosophy
You chewed my ear
And when I begged for more
You went off to bed
Barricaded the door
[Chorus]
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 (Must be better things)
I can do (I can do)
[Post-Chorus]
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?
