Fly by frankie thinks he's superman 

like a child at the wheel of a rocket 

he comes round here with a license to love 

but i don't know where he got it 

i trusted you offered everything 

but i'm not sure you deserve it 


you tell me that i'm lucky 

but i feel like giving up 

'cause a heart like mine's wasted on you 

if you don't know what you've got 


you throw it away 

throw it away 

all the heart and the soul i've been giving 

you throw it away 

throw it away 

like it's no big deal you'll be missin' 

you throw it away 

throw it away 

run it underground 


fly by frankie's got it in his head 

that he's something i know that he's not 

he's like a blind bull in a china shop 

when it comes to affairs of the heart 


you wouldn't know what love is 

if it hit you like a rock 

and a girl like me is lost on you 

if you don't see what you've got 


[chorus]


every breath in the park 

every dance in the dark 

every promise you make 

you go and throw it away 

every smile in the rain 

you know it's always the same 

you go and do it again 

you go and throw it away 


you wouldn't know what love is 

if it hit you like a rock 

and a girl like me is lost on you 

if you don't see what you've got 


[chorus]
