Don`t know what you`ve got `til it`s gone
A hint of the scent then it`s gone
Look at the state of you, you`re all fingers & thumbs
So who`s your latest flame
Drivin` em wild in the fast lane
Won`t say I told you so, but the boy has no shame
Once when my hands were full
We were double or quits then some
Nothin` at all to show for a love so precious
Gone & blown it all, how can you say
It doesn`t matter much to me?
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love`s debris
Gone & blow it all & then you say
This can`t be happening to me
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love`s debris
Don`t know what you`ve got `til it`s gone
The thrill of the chase then it`s gone
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on
And life is a wonderful thing
When you`re humming the words to a love song
Do what you wanna do be who you want to be
When I`m in your arms I`m strong
There`s nowhere I`d rather be
We shine for liberty, life & the pursuit of pleasure
Gone & blown it all, how can you say
It doesn`t matter much to me?
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love`s debris
Gone & blown it all & then you say
This isn`t happening to me
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love`s debris
And how the days have flown too few & fast
They said it wasn`t meant to last
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love`s debris
