Quincy Jones
Throwing Your Life Away
[Intro]
Chop, hah!

[Verse 1]
I was young and loved to fight
I was never wrong but always right, yeah
Blame it on me
I was young and practical
But I’m gonna lay it down and make sure
Blame it on me
I was playing the underdog
I got my choice but I’m gonna go home
Blame it on me
Life’s sweet and life is bad
Got my time and I wouldn’t be laughing
Blame it on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I must find
There’s no love in my life

[Chorus]
Don’t be throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Alright)
Don’t you find it so easy to just say no? (To just say no?)
[Verse 2]
I was living high and low
Got my choice and I got my soul
Blame it on me
I was doing the underdog
I got my choice and I gotta go home
Blame it on me
I was really doing bad
I got my time and I got my past
Blame it on me
I was living in the right
I got my time without a sound
Blame it on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I must find
There’s no love in my life

[Chorus]
Don’t be throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Oh!)
Don’t you find it so easy to just say no? (To just say no?)
Throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Oh!)
Don’t you find it so easy to just say no? (To just say no?)
Da-da na-da da-da-da
[Bridge]
Release me
Someone said release me
Someone said release me
Someone said release me
I've been through a fire
I've been through a lot (Chop)

[Chorus]
Throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Oh!)
I love you
Hee!

[Outro]
Don’t you find it so easy to just say no?
To just say no?
