A Man Doesn't Know

I guess I see through you. You just miss somebody that you've left behind, is that it?

Yes, I do. I miss somebody somethin' awful

(sung)

A man doesn't know what he has until he loses it

When a man has the love of a woman, he abuses it

I didn't know what I had when I had my old love

I didn't know what I had 'til I said, "Goodbye, old love!"

Yes, a man doesn't know what he has 'til it is no longer around

But the happy thought is, whatever it is he's lost

May some day once again be found

I know what you mean, Joe, only too well

For I am lonely just like you

Lonely for my Joe, my sweet Joe

How really sweet, I never knew, I never really knew...

A woman doesn't know what she has until she loses it

When a woman has the love of a man, she abuses it

I didn't know what I had when I had my old love

I didn't know what I had 'til I said, "Goodbye, old love!"

Yes, a man doesn't know what he has 'til it is no longer around

But the happy thought is, whatever it is he's lost

May some day once again be found!
