Joe Cocker Threw It Away song lyrics

I'm not a pauper or a millionaire

Doin' all my living on a song and a prayer.

I played to win and took the lion's share - so sweet.

Memories of friends upon my wall

When I met you I thought that I had it all

Too young to understand the mighty fall - so easy.

Still I threw it away

just' when I had it

I threw it away

Just when I held it

I threw it away

That precious feeling

I threw it away - just when I really cared.

Conversation in a crowded room

I hear the music but I'm not out of tune.

You never learn until your chance is had - and gone.

.rew it away

just when I had it

I threw it away

. . .

Oh

but I th

Memories of friends upon my wall

.

Tellin' you

I threw it away

when I had it

I threw it away

. .

That precious feeling

oh no.
