Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away
For you might need it someday

Don't throw your dreams away
No, no, no, no
Keep them another day
For you might need them someday

Lovers of today
Just throw their dreams away
And play at love
They give their love away
To anyone who'll say, I love you

Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away
For you might need it someday

Lovers of today
Just throw their dreams away
And play at love
They give their love away
To anyone who'll say, I love you

Go out and have your fun
You better
Have your fun with anyone
But don't throw your love away

Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away
For you might need it someday

Don't throw your love away
No, no, no, no
Don't throw your love away, yay
