Throwaway Lyrics By Mick Jagger

    used to play the casanova
    smoother than the bossa nova
    love to play the romeo
    but i never need a home to go to

    i’m so greasy i’m so slick
    i leave no traces i just get out quick
    i use cheap champagne
    brief affairs and backstage love

    but a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway
    a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway

    i’ve played the fool i’ve played the clown
    i’m an easy lover when i come to town
    it’s a fashion it’s a buyer’s market
    to bust it up before it’s really started

    i’m incurably romantic
    if you leave me i’ll go frantic
    with cheap champagne
    brief affairs and backstage love

    but a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway
    yes a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway

    if the glove still fits don’t call it quits
    don’t throw your life away
    ’cause a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway one for the money

    used to play the casanova
    faster than a roller coaster
    i gave you the best years of my life
    don’t you kick me in the gutter

    ’cause a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway
    yes a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway

    yes there’s many a slip between a cup and lip
    don’t let it slide away
    ’cause a love like this is much too good
    to ever throwaway come on come on

    come on come on come on
    come on come on
    ah yeah much too good much too good
    much too good
