Throwing it away for love
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.
Jenny's old man left home the week she turned forty five
She couldn't believe a thing like that was happening in her life
She said "Why ain't I bleeding? After wasting twenty years with this man
Well the years rushed by and I lost everything I wanted for myself
Wasted time on someone who took me for granted, I threw it all away for love"
Throwing it all away in a moment
Throwing it away for the sake of an easy life
Till you find you've no tomorrows
You ain't got no past
You've thrown it all away for love
Jenny's whole life has been spent making up for the bitter times
Staring at the mirror sees a faded face she don't recognise
She says "Why ain't I screaming? After wasting so many years in the world
And throwing it away
Throwing it away for love"
And there was I
Waiting at the church
Waiting at the church
And the rain fell down
