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]
