Threw It Away
PAULINE BLACK, PHILIP STUART PICKETT
I'm not a pauper or a millionaire
Doin' all my living on a song and a prayer.
I played to win and took the lion's share - so sweet.
Memories of friends upon my wall

Just' when I had it
I threw it away
Just when I held it
I threw it away
That precious feeling
I threw it away - just when I really cared.
Conversation in a crowded room
I hear the music but I'm not out of tune.
You never learn until your chance is had - and gone.

Tellin' you
I threw it away
When I had it
I threw it away

That precious feeling
Oh no.
