[Verse 1: Slim & 112]
How could you
Just hurt me
And leave me?
Leave me all alone
How could you destroy my life?
How could you throw it all away?
What made you
Desert me, deceive me?
Why did you just let me down?
How could you throw it all away?
How could you throw

[Chorus: 112 & Slim]
How could you throw it all away?
Throw it all away
When I gave my all, baby
How could you throw it all away
And I gave my all
How could you throw
How could you throw it all away?
Throw it all away
You destroyed my life, baby
How could you throw it all way?

[Verse 2: Slim & 112]
How could you
Just lead me
Into thinking
Thinking you would be there
How could you destroy my heart?
How could you throw it all away?
I loved you
Believed you
And I trusted you
Put all my trust in you
How could you just let me down?
How could you throw it all way?
How could you throw

[Chorus: 112 & Slim]
How could you throw it all away?
Girl, how could you?
Throw it all away
How could you just take it all, baby?
How could you throw it all away?
Oh, how could you throw
How could you throw it all away?
Throw it all
Throw it all away
When I gave my love
How could you throw it all away?

[Bridge: 112 & Slim]
I love you girl
Girl, I love you
You love me so
And you love me
Where did we go wrong?
I know
I know that I
Gave you my all
Gave my all to you
But somehow that wasn't good enough
How could you throw it away?

[Chorus: 112 & Slim]
How could you throw it all away?
Throw it all away
How could you destroy my life, baby?
How could you throw it all away?
How could you throw
How could you throw it all away?
How could you throw it all away?
Throw it all away
When I gave you my all, baby
How could you throw it all away?

Oh, how could you throw
How could you throw it all away?
Throw it all
Throw it all away
How could you destroy my life?
How could you throw it all away?
Oh, girl, I will
How could you throw it all away?
I will always love you
Throw it all away
Forever and ever
How could you throw it all away?
How could you throw it all?

112 is a Grammy-winning R&B quartet from Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of Marvin “Slim” Scandrick, Quinnes “Q” Parker, Daron Jones, and Michael Keith. They released their self-titled debut album on Bad Boy Entertainment in 1996, which featured the hits “Cupid” and “Only You” with The Notorious B.I.G. and the remix also featuring Ma$e. In 1997, they joined Puff Daddy and Faith Evans on “I’ll Be Missing You,” the tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. for which they won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The single also topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 weeks.

They would release two more albums on Bad Boy—Room 112 (1998) featuring the hit single “Anywhere” and Part III (2001) featuring the hits “It’s Over Now,” “Peaches & Cream,” and “Dance With Me.” They joined Def Jam’s R&B imprint Def Soul for their fourth album Hot & Wet (2003)—a joint venture with Bad Boy—and Pleasure & Pain (2005). The group split to release solo projects before coming back to release Q, Mike, Slim, Daron in 2017.
