Don't Throw Your Love to the Wind Songtext
von Joe South

Think about the good times that we had
Don′t throw your love to the wind
You could lose a good thing chasin' after somethin′ bad
Don't throw your love to the wind

You can go or you may stay
I wouldn't have it any other way
But baby, baby, don′t throw your love to the wind
My, my, my, my baby, baby
Don′t throw your love to the wind

You have spread yourself too thin
You count too many people in
People that don't know enough
To come in from out of the rain, oh
They′re not fit to shine your shoes
But they got nothin' in the world to lose
So when you′re on top
They pop on the gravy train, aw yeah


You know I got no reason to be afraid
So tell it like it is, call a spade a spade
Life's too short to worry about
Hangups we can get along without

Yeah

Think about the good times that we had
Don′t throw your love to the wind
You could lose a good thing chasin' after somethin' bad
Don′t throw your love to the wind

You can go or you may stay
I wouldn′t have it any other way
But baby, baby, don't throw your love to the wind
My, my, my, my baby, baby
Don′t throw your love to the wind

How could you be so naive
As to let yourself believe
You could put your trust in every Tom, Dick and Harry?
They will take you for all you've got
Then they′ll call you a you know what
And you'll find out you are not so necessary


Hey, hey, hey I got no reason to be afraid
So tell it like it is, call a spade a spade
Life′s too short to worry about
Hangups that we can get along without

Whoa

You oughta think about the good times that we had
Don't throw your love to the wind
You could lose a good thing chasin' after somethin′ bad
Don′t throw your love to the wind

You can go or you may stay
I wouldn't have it any other way
But baby, baby, don′t throw your love to the wind
Why don't ya bring it on home now?
Baby, baby, don′t throw your love to the wind
Oh no, baby, baby, don't throw your love to the wind
My, my, my, my baby, baby
Don′t throw your love to the wind, whoa
Baby, baby, don't throw your love to the wind
