Lyrics

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUVE GOT(TILL ITS GONE)
******************
She was by your side - you looked into her eyes
and thought you were the one and only man
acting so cool - making all the rules
you had her in the palm of your hand
you never let it show - enough to let her know
you thought she'd always be yours
you didnt even try - you let it all go by
right up untill she walked out the door
*
(chorus) You never know what youve got till its gone
you never know what to do till its , over and done
you'll lose just when you thought you'd won
and you never know what youve got till its gone
*
(chorus repeat)
*
You thought you had it made - a foolish game to play
you took her love for granted all along
acting so free - too blind to see
you thought that she was weak and you were strong
now you cant face the fact that shes never coming back
doing hard time in an empty room
the sad truth hit home - and now youre all alone
singing all your love songs to the moon
*
(chorus repeat)
*
She was right there for you
but you never knew what you had
now youre crying - but its too late boy
aint that just too bad?
*
(chorus repeat)
***********
