Elvis Costello I Threw It All Away lyrics

I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel and I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away

Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand
And rivers to drink through every day
But I must have been mad, I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away

Love is all it is that makes the world go round
Love it, only love can't be denied
No matter what you think about it, just won't be able to do without it

Take a tip from one who's tried

So when you find someone who gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart, don't let is stray
'Cause one thing's for certain, you will surely be hurting
If you throw it all away, if you throw it all away

I threw it all away
I threw it all away
