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
