Lyrics - Threw It Away by Joe Cocker

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 awayjust' 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 awayjust when
I had it
I threw it away. . .
Ohbut
I th
Memories of friends upon my wall.
Tellin' you
I threw it awaywhen
I had it
I threw it away. ..
That precious feelingoh no.
