Throwaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Used to play the Casanova
Smoother than the Bossa Nova
Love to play the Romeo
But I never need a home to go to
I'm so greasy, I'm so slick
I leave no traces
I just get out quick
I use cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
I've played the fool
I've played the clown
I'm an easy lover
When I come to town
It's a fashion
It's a buyers market
To bust it up
Before it's really started
I'm incurably romantic
If you leave me, I'll go frantic
With cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes, a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
If the glove still fits
Don't call it quits
Don't throw your life away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Used to play the Casanova
Faster than a roller coaster
I gave you the best years of my life
Don't you kick me in the gutter
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes, there's many a slip
Between a cup and lip
Don't let it slide away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
