Well it seems that everyone we've known
Their love's grown cold, will ours stand the storm
One by one they break, it's such a shame,
And now you say you want to do the same.
Don't Toss Us Away so thoughtlessly
It just ain't right, Oh can't you see
I still love you, I want you to stay
Darlin' please, Don't Toss Us Away.
Well just think of all that we've been through,
The world we're building, me and you,
How could all those years be tossed away,
In just one moment, in just one day.
Don't Toss Us Away, it just ain't right
To let love die without a fight.
I still love you, I want you to stay
Darlin' please, Don't Toss Us Away.
So now I'm asking once again
To understand, to be my friend
Oh, it hurts so bad, to think you'd go,
Still the same, I love you so.
Don't Toss Us Away so thoughtlessly
It just ain't right oh can't you see,
I still love you, I want you to stay.
Darlin' please, Don't Toss Us Away.
Darlin' please, Don't Toss Us Away.
