(jett-laguna-cordell)
I was caught so unaware
When you made other plans
Promises you swore to keep
Where more than you could stand
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
Till its gone
I cant stand to hear your name
cause you were so unkind
And though you think you made out well
Someday you will find
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
Till its gone
Shame on you, I gave you love
I gave you love so true
But you ran away
So you just dont know what cha blew
Yeah, yeah
You dont know what youve got
Oh baby
You dont know what youve got
I thought I knew you
You dont know what youve got
Till its gone
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
Till its gone
I was weak when you were there
And I felt so protected
But Ill make sure that you regret
The one that you rejected
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
You dont know what youve got
Till its gone
Oh baby
You really blew it
Oh baby
I thought you knew me
Oh baby
Oh baby. . .
