YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT

One phone call wiped out a year

Like waves swept under the pier

Long weeks of impending doom

Stuck in life's waiting room

Always so close to goodbye

Pushed so far over the line

No new light under the moon

Stuck in life's waiting room

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

Till it's almost gone

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

Till it's over

Another day in the life

You can't look me in the eye

There's nothing left you could say

It wouldn't help anyway

This poison skin you can't touch

Go on without me, my love

No kiss to send you away

It wouldn't help anyway

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

Till it's almost gone

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

Till it's over

I begged for your forgiveness

I made a deal with God

I took you all for granted

You can write my epilogue

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

Till it's almost gone

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

You don't know what you've got

Till it's over

And over, and over, and over

And over, and over, and over

And over, and over, and over

And over, and over, and over
