Throw the Roses Away - Daryl Hall & John Oates

Throw the Roses Away Lyrics

Words can never change
What our hearts have denied
And all the sweet memories
Won't bring the love back to life
And the more that we try
The more it's gonna make you see
No words, hope, anything
Will bring back life to your dream
All night
Took me to learn
Oh, baby, baby, baby, how to say it?
This love just won't work
Just for once in my life
Do I wanna go with what's right?
It's gone, we've got to move on
You know that it's all truth, so do I

Sad bouquets we save
Won't make up one sweet day, no, baby
Throw the roses away, give it up
Throw the roses away, oh
Throw the roses away
Don't need them anymore
'Cause they just make you cry
If you let it go, let it go, let it go, babe
You'll get some peace of mind
Only lonely for now
But you'll come back, back from the pain
Oh, I don't know if I'll ever find
Someone like you again
Sad bouquets we save
Won't make up one sweet day, oh
(Throw the roses away) throw them, throw them
(Throw the roses away) oh-oh-oh
(Throw the roses away) hang up, baby
(Throw the roses away) no way
Words in my mind
Talk about you to me all the time
Oh, why should just a rose
Have such a sad hold over our lives?
Oh, sad bouquets, baby
(Won't make up) won't make up (one sweet day) one sweet day, oh, give it up
(Throw the roses away) oh, don't you know that it's over?
(Throw the roses away) over and done, babe
(Throw the roses away) oh
Got to hang it up, fall down, hang it up
Don't you know that it's over and done?
I know, how can I tell you?
(Throw the roses away) what more can I say to make you understand?
(Throw the roses away) oh, don't you know?
Gotta give it up, baby, give it up, give it up
Baby, no use, it's over and done, babe
No way, no way, no way, no way
(Throw the roses away) all we got is the past
(Throw the roses away) that ain't enough to make it last, oh, babe
Oh, can you understand me?
What I'm trying to say to you?
this is the last goodbye
(Throw the roses away) and this is the last ride, ride
(Throw the roses away) oh
Gotta throw 'em down, hang it up, hang it up
When you know it's over, I'll throw 'em, baby
Gotta move on, gotta move on
(Throw the roses away) oh, walk away when you know
(Throw the roses away) yeah
I'm sorry, baby, ain't you sorry too?
I love you
