[Pre-Chorus]
You never knew how good you had it
You never knew how good you had it
You never knew, you never knew how
You never knew how good you had it

[Chorus]
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me

[Verse 1]
One day I woke up and I smelled the coffee burning
Right then I knew I had to make a change in me
The time that we were together
You treated me so wrong
And when you dig the dirt, you sang the same old song

[Verse 2]
I took advantage of your love for me
I made mistakes, and love should love somebody
I kept on messing up, but you stayed right by my side girl
Until you took it no longer, that’s when you said goodbye

[Chorus]
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me
[Dialogue]
So can we do this?
No. We can’t
(Oh no we can’t no we can’t can’t no we can’t)

[Pre-Chorus]
Until you lost me

[Verse 3]
You knew my love was strong, you took me for granted
(I never had the time, ‘cause I was always on the go)
Now I feel so good, since the day I left you
(But every day I call you telling you girl, come home baby baby)

[Verse 4]
Girl I’m so sorry
I’ve heard that line before, tell me how did you get my new phone number?
Please forgive me girl, p-please could you forgive me forgive me?)
I think that it’s too late, it’s too late

[Chorus]
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me
(Every time that you say please, better get up off your knees)
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me
(so cold)

[Dialogue]
Yeah, I had it good, I guess I blew it
Through it all, I never really knew how cold it could be when you’re not around
(How you sound?)
Yeah, but deep deep down inside, it hurts to try to hide my pride
But it just gets worse
(Yeah right)
Baby please, let’s give it one more try
And I’ll show you I’m not trying to blow your mind
(Spare me the drama, no, just give it up)

[Chorus]
You never knew how good you had it (ooh, you never never knew)
Until you lost me
You never knew how good you had it
Until you lost me

[Verse 5]
Let me tell you I just lost the best thing that I ever had
(You’re never ever gonna get it, bet a woman that could change it and could love you so bad)
Why did I blow a good thing baby?
(Because I loved ya, you should have loved me, ooh baby)

You never knew how good you had it
You never knew how good you had it
