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
