Tony Robbins (born Anthony J. Mahavoric; February 29, 1960) is an American motivational speaker, personal finance instructor, and self-help author. He became well known from his infomercials and self-help books: Unlimited Power, Unleash the Power Within and Awaken the Giant Within.
In 2007, he was named in Forbes magazine's "Celebrity 100" list.Forbes estimated that Robbins earned approximately US$30 million in that year.
Robbins was born Anthony J. Mahavoric in North Hollywood, California, on February 29, 1960. Robbins is the eldest of three children and his parents divorced when he was 7. His mother then had a series of husbands, including Jim Robbins, a former semiprofessional baseball player who legally adopted Anthony when he was 12.
His father could not provide for their family, so he left them. His mother started abusing alcohol and prescription drugs sometime after. While growing up, Robbins was a primary care-giver, and helped provide for his siblings. Robbins was raised in Azusa and Glendora, California, and attended Glendora High School. He was elected student body president in his senior year, and grew 10 inches in high school, a growth spurt later attributed to a pituitary tumor. He has said his home life was "chaotic" and "abusive". When he was 17 years old, Robbins' mother chased him out of the house with a knife, and he never returned. Robbins later worked as a janitor, and did not attend college.
Was that all it was?
A way to pass some time
momentary thing
not worth the memory
in the morning
must it be so be cold
something bought and sold
was it just a game
would you recall my name
if you saw me
How would it be; I wonder?
if we ever meet again
now that I've been your love
Is this how it's gonna end?
Will we ever be just friends?
Run to me every now and then
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
night out on the town
an excersise of will
or what you needed filled
did you use me
How would it be; I wonder?
if we ever meet again
now that I've been your love
Is this how it's gonna end?
Will we ever be just friends?
Run to me every now and then
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
when you close the door
pasion left behind
out of sight and out of mind
gone forever
was that all it was?
How would it be; I wonder?
if we ever meet again
now that I've been your love
Is this how it's gonna end?
Will we ever be just friends?
Run to me every now and then
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
when you close the door
pasion left behind
out of sight and out of mind
gone forever
was that all it was?
whow-whow-whow-whow-oh
was that all it was?
did you use me?
did you use me?
did you use me?
