[Verse 1]
I was caught so unaware
When you made other plans
Promises you swore to keep
Were more than you could stand

[Chorus]
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

[Verse 3]
Shame on you, I gave you love
I gave you love so true
But you ran away
So, you just don't know what you blew
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
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 'til it's gone
(Aw, shit)

[Refrain]
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

[Chorus]
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 'til it's gone

[Verse 3]
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-ed-ed-ed-ed

[Chorus]
You don't know what you've got (oh, baby)
You don't know what you've got (you blew it)
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
[Outro]
You don't know what you've got (oh, baby)
You don't know what you've got (you fuckin' blew it)
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
You don't know what you've got (oh, baby)
You don't know what you've got (oh, baby)
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
You don't know what you've got (oh, baby)
You don't know what you've got (I thought I knew it)
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
