[Verse 1]
I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel, I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away, I threw it all away

[Verse 2]
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through every day
I must have been mad, I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away, I threw it all away

[Bridge]
Love is all there is, it makes the world go ’round
Love and only love, it can’t be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just won’t be able to do without it
Take a tip from one who’s tried

[Verse 3]
So if you find someone that gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart, don’t let it stray
For one thing that’s certain, you will surely be hurtin’
If you throw it all away, if you throw it all away
