[Verse 1]
You got big plans, you got contacts
You got limos, you got leg room
You got cable, in your bedroom
You got a scrambler, on the car phone
[Pre-Chorus]
You got people, on the pay row
Wanna see you, in your office
You got cities, you got access
You're so brilliant at your business
[Chorus]
But I didn't know you had friends to burn
A-standin' in line just to wait their turn
So full of human kindness - you got
Love to throw away
I can't believe it
Love to throw away
[Verse 2]
You got beepers, you got cow vans
You got diamonds, on your boodle
You got cocaine - you got clinics
You got muscles on your muscles
[Pre-Chorus]
You got gossip, in the paper
You got liars, who got lovers
You got people, who go crazy
Try'na think of what to buy you
[Chorus]
But I didn't know you had friends to burn
A-standin' in line just to wait their turn
So full of human kindness - you've got
Love to throw away
I can't believe it
Love to throw away
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus]
You got bankers, full of weekend
You got info, on the future
You're the nice guy, and you're still tough
And the Honda, you can flare off
[Chorus]
But we didn't know you had friends to burn
A-standin' in line just to wait their turn
So full of human kindness - you've got
Love to throw away
I can't believe it
Love to throw away
Can't understand it
Love to throw away
[Outro]
Got love, to throw away
You got plenty, plenty of love, to throw away
You got to throw, throw, throw
Throw that love away
You got plenty, plenty of love
Strange things in the world
Strange things in the world
Strange things in the world
Ta ta gah, ta ta ta gah, gah ta ta tah...
