This song is performed by emily wells
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool
Orange juice and my youth
Livin' it up in the poor house
Vinyl records and violins
Spinnin' and squawkin'
Short eyelashes and your daily bread
Learning 'bout love in your little head
Marmalade and pancakes
Cookin' it up in the back house
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool
Creek ran dry but the water came in
Dry earth so how we ever gonna swim?
Take me down to the riverside
Take me there, we can cry cry cry
Then we'll be at a babbling brook
Read me from your pages and tear me from your book
Bleed your ink right into me
Fill my lungs with empathy
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had
Hey, hey
You never knew what you had till you lost it
Hey, hey
You never knew you pretty little fool
