Dalam lagu "Throwaway" yang dinyanyikan oleh Mick Jagger, pendengar diajak menyelami kisah seorang pria yang terbiasa menjalani kehidupan tanpa komitmen. Seperti Casanova, ia pandai memikat dan mencintai, namun selalu enggan membuat hubungan yang mendalam. Liriknya mengeksplorasi sifatnya yang licik dan suka meninggalkan jejak, serta kecenderungannya menjalin hubungan singkat dan tidak bermakna. Namun, lagu ini juga mengungkapkan sisi rentan sang pria, ketika ia menyadari bahwa cinta yang sejati sulit untuk dilepaskan.
Throwaway Lyrics
Mick Jagger
Used to play the Casanova
Smoother than the Bossa Nova
Love to play the Romeo
But I never need a home to go to
I'm so greasy, I'm so slick.
I leave no traces
I just get out quick
I use cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
I've played the fool
I've played the clown
I'm an easy lover
When I come to town
It's a fashion
It's a buyers market
It's a buyer's market
To bust it up
Before it's really started
I'm incurably romantic
If you leave me I'll go frantic
With cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
If the glove still fits
Don't call it quits
Don't throw your life away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Used to play the Casanova
Faster than a roller coaster
I gave you the best years of my life
Don't you kick me in the gutter
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes there's many a slip
Between a cup and lip
Don't let it slide away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Smoother than the Bossa Nova
Love to play the Romeo
But I never need a home to go to
I'm so greasy, I'm so slick.
I leave no traces
I just get out quick
I use cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
I've played the fool
I've played the clown
I'm an easy lover
When I come to town
It's a fashion
It's a buyers market
It's a buyer's market
To bust it up
Before it's really started
I'm incurably romantic
If you leave me I'll go frantic
With cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
If the glove still fits
Don't call it quits
Don't throw your life away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Used to play the Casanova
Faster than a roller coaster
I gave you the best years of my life
Don't you kick me in the gutter
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes there's many a slip
Between a cup and lip
Don't let it slide away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
