Don't Throw Our Love Away

(album: Forever - 1979)

I'm a man of reason, I believe in what is fair
I've loved you through the seasons
And when you needed me, I was always there
Well, I wish I didn't have to go
But I'll be back before you know I'm gone
It won't be long
But you've been getting so upset
Saying things you might regret
Well, I think you should know by now that I won't do you wrong

Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away, no, no
Can't you see it's just not right?
Lately all we do at night
Is yell and argue, fuss and fight
And I just can't get near you anymore

You better listen to me, I think it's time we got it straight
If you don't stop abusing me, pretty soon it's gonna be too late
Yeah, yeah
We've been happy all these years
Just imagine all the tears we'd cry if we said goodbye
I've always been a faithful man
Can't you try to understand?
Your head is full of jealous thoughts and there's no reason why

So don't throw our love away (Baby, don't you do it)
Don't throw our love away (Baby, listen to me)
No, don't
Lately all we do at night
After you turn out the light
Is scream and holler, fuss and fight
And I just can't get near you anymore
Don't throw our love away (Don't throw our love away)

Let's forget these angry words
I want to leave on better terms
Darling, let's renew our love
We're running out of time

So don't throw our love away (Baby, don't you do it)
Don't throw our love away (Baby, listen to me)
No, no
Can't you see it's just not right
To waste another precious night?
I just want to hold you tight
And make you smile the way you did before

Don't throw our love away (Baby, don't you do it)
Don't throw it all away now, baby
Don't throw our love away (Baby, listen to me)
Oh no
It's not easy to erase
The memory of a warm embrace
That tender look is on your face
And you know you can't hide it anymore

Don't throw our love away (Baby, don't you do it)
Don't throw it all away now, baby
Don't throw our love away, yeah, yeah
