Lyrics

Need I say I love you?

Need I say I care?

Need I say that emotions

Are something we don't share?

I don't want to be sitting here

Trying to deceive you

'Cause you know I know baby

That I don't wanna go

We cannot live together

We cannot live apart

That's the situation

I've known it from the start

Everytime that I look at you

I can see the future

'Cause you know I know baby

That I don't wanna go

Just throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

Is there nothing that I can say

To make you change your mind?

I watch the world go round and round

And see mine turning upside down

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Hoo-hoo-hoo)

Throwing it all away

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Hoo-hoo-hoo)

Now who will light up the darkness?

And who will hold your hand?

Who will find you the answers

When you don't understand?

Why should I have to be the one

Who has to convince you?

'Cause you know I know baby

That I don't wanna go

Someday you'll be sorry

Someday when you're free

Memories will remind you

That our love was meant to be

But late at night when you call my name

The only sound you'll hear

Is the sound of your voice calling

Calling after me

Just throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

Then there's nothing that I can say, ah-ah-ah

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Hoo-hoo-hoo)

We're throwing it all away

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Hoo-hoo-hoo)

Just a throwing it all away

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Hoo-hoo-hoo)

'Cause we're throwing it all away

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Ah)

(Uh-uh-hoo)

(Hoo-hoo-hoo)
