Howard Hewett
You Won’t Miss Love (Until It’s Gone)
[Verse 1: Howard Hewett]
Loneliness has the strangest way
Of slapping reality right back into your face
You sit and you try
To figure which way can you go to put it back into place
The time we shared
Why just throw it all away on things that might not exist
It just doesn't make sense
To put a deadline on feelings that you cannot resist
[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
Baby, you won't miss love until it's gone
What makes you wanna leave?
Don't put the blame on me, oh
(You won't miss love)
You won't miss my love
(Until it's gone)
All gone
[Verse 2: Howard Hewett]
Give me just one more try
And I'll show you how good love can be
And nothing else can feel the same
Please don't make me beg you, sugar
I still got my pride
But now you got the upper hand
Let's hold on to love
It's stronger than anything we've got
And we've got a lot
Don't take this happiness away
We got so much at stake
But if you go away, I know, baby
[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
You won't miss love 'til it's gone
I got what you need
Put your trust in me
(No, you won't miss love)
You'll never miss my love
(Until it's gone)
[Bridge: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
Girl, don't just run away
This love is our destiny
Girl, don't you know what you do to me
I love you
Stay right by my side
Stay by my side, girl
Mmm
Stay right by my side
(Baby)
[Chorus: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
Baby, we just can't break up
(You won't miss love)
Got to learn to trust
There's so many others giving up
(No, you won't miss love)
If we just hold on
What we have is strong
I believe that time will make it up
[Outro: Howard Hewett & Shalamar]
Girl, why can't you reconsider?
This feeling's much too strong
To let it end up like this
You know, baby
You won't miss love 'til it's gone
I got what you need
Trust in me (Baby)
You won't miss love
(You won't miss love)
'Til it's all gone
Oh, hear me, baby
(Until it's gone)
You won't miss love
'Til it's all gone, gone
(No, you won't miss love)
Oh, baby
So many people giving up
Girl, you won't miss my love
(Until it's gone)
