Travelling down this dusty road Taking some time to be alone You see, I was given the old heave-ho, adis by telephone She said we had some good times And that I should get on with my life She was busy making plans to be someone else's wife CHORUS: I've been throwing good love after bad love Throwing diamonds after pearls Throwing all my hopes and all my dreams Into someone else's girl Well, I must have been mistaken Thinking we were even friends Throwing good love after bad love once again You know it hit me like a ton of bricks She really knocked me to the floor Cos my heart's in her bag of tricks With the key to my front door Guess I had it coming When you're in love you're unaware I never had to pick her up She always met me there (CHORUS) I guess she was looking for some part-time recreation Another lesson in this old heart's education Well, I must have been mistaken Thinking we were even friends Throwing good love after bad love once again
