You Never Know What You Got

[Verse 1]
I know you'll never find another love like mine
And I know just what you're gonna do
You've said those words before
Walked out and closed the door
But you'll come right back; you know it's true

[Pre-Chorus]
We had so many times together
And we always seemed to make the magic last
If we let it get away, the love we had may never be the same

[Chorus]
And you'll never know what you got until it's over
You'll never know what you're missing
'Til love slips away
You'll never know what you got until it's over
And you're all alone, sitting by the phone

[Verse 2]
I guess I'll never see my place in history
And I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll write a page in time and make you change your mind
And you'll see how much you mean to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'll never be a hero
Or the kind of guy who sets the world on fire
But if you let me try, I know I'd give the sky to you

[Chorus]
And you'll never know what you got until it's over
You'll never know what you're missing
'Til love slips away
You'll never know what you got until it's over
And you're all alone, sitting by the phone, baby

Oh no, oh no

You'll never know what you got until it's over
You'll never know what you're missing
'Til love slips away
You'll never know what you got until it's over
And you're all alone, sitting by the phone

And you'll never know what you got until it's over
(Oh darling you'll never)
You'll never know what you're missing
'Til love slips away
You'll never know what you got until it's over
And you're all alone, sitting by the phone

And you'll never know what you got until it's over
You'll never know what you're missing
'Til love slips away ('Til it slips away, baby)
You'll never know what you got until it's over
And you're all alone, sitting by the phone, baby, woo

And you'll never know what you got until it's over
You'll never know what you're missing
'Til love slips away
You'll never know what you got until it's over

[Outro]
And you're all alone, oh baby
I didn't want this to happen
You're all alone
Playing Solitaire, and no one's there, oh baby
I'll never, never, never know, 'til it's over
Woo-hoo, hoo, hoo
