She gave it away lyrics

She gave away all her love

No reason to keep it

She'd saved it for only one

But he didn't need it

And downtown the midnight circus

Hypnotised like a spinning top

Offering dreams, like the gloss magazines

She had so much to give so she gave it away

And all of the loves you've known

There must have been someone

Who gave you that starry night

Lead you to the next one

And whose gonna point the finger

Only those who never known

She lost and she cried,

The tears run dry.

She had so much to give so she gave it away

Mary was like you and I

She remembers how she lay with him

But to the world she's just a drunken cheap trick

Red light, side kick, an angel downtown

The priest calls her Wednesdays

And shows her a wooden cross

He tells of the love he's found

She thinks of the one she lost

And downtown the midnight circus

Hypnotised like a spinning top

So easy to choose

When there's nothing to lose

She had so much to give so she gave it away
