Lyrics Madeleine Peyroux

Madeleine Peyroux

"I Threw It All Away

I once held him in my arms

And he said he'd always stay

But I was cruel, I treated him like a fool

And I threw it all away

I once had mountains in the palm of my hand

Rivers that ran through every day

But I must have been mad, never knew what I had

'Til I threw it all away

Love is all it is, it makes the world go round

Love and only love, it can't be denied

No matter what you think about it

You won't be able to do without it

Take a tip from one who's tried

So if you find someone who gives you all his love

Take it to your heart, don't let it stray

One thing is certain, you'll surely be hurting

If you throw it all away

If you throw it all away

Love is all it is, it makes the world go round

Love and only love can't be denied

And no matter what you think about it

You won't be able to do without it

Take a tip from one who's tried

So if you find someone to give you all of his love

Take it to your heart, don't let it stray

One thing is certain, you'll surely be hurting

If you throw it all away

If you throw it all away, yeah
