How She Threw It All Away - The Style Council

Of all the things that money can buy

freedoms never cheap

But all the things she needed in life — she had no need to keep.

Of all the things she asked of me none were ever fun

And I’m no good at acting while — the cameras on the run.

Don’t you know — she threw it all away

I wonder how she feels today.

She threw it all away

I wonder if she’s there to stay.

I tried, a bit, to change into — something that I’m not

But trying to mould with dynamite is like giving lions spots.

Guess you knew — she threw it all away

Don’t shed a tear there’s no need to cry.

She threw it all away

I played both parts in the fool and I.

Yes, I know your hurting inside

but I can’t stop those tears in your eyes, falling from your face

Everytime you fall apart

I knew at the start — when it happened again

it was the start of the end for us.

With all the things that money can buy

you’ll never be alone

But thankfully you remembered the words

to I «Can't Buy Me Love».
