I knew a real nice girl when I was twenty-one She used to tell me that she loved everyone I said, "It may sound sweet givin' out those 'I love you's for free" "But I hope you see why it don't mean a goddamn thing when you say it to me"
So don't give your love away Not everyone deserves it Don't give your love away You can't get it back Don't give your love away If the word means anything Don't give your love away I think you're better than that
I know it may sound cruel, but it's no such thing A love that don't judge ain't worth the mention If you can't find one man, one woman, one idea left to hate I gotta say, I don't think you're paying attention
