I was caught so unaware   When you made other plans   Promises you swore to keep   Where more than you could stand      You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   Till it's gone      I can't stand to hear your name   'Cause you were so unkind   And though you think you made out well   Someday you will find      You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   Till it's gone      Shame on you, I gave you love   I gave you love so true   But you ran away   So you just don't know what cha' blew   Yeah, yeah      You don't know what you've got   Oh baby   You don't know what you've got   I thought I knew you   You don't know what you've got   Till it's gone      You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   Till it's gone      I was weak when you were there   And I felt so protected   But I'll make sure that you regret   The one that you rejected      You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   You don't know what you've got   Till it's gone      Oh baby   You really blew it   Oh baby   I thought you knew me   Oh baby   Oh baby. . .
