You Never Know What You've Got

You buy your fancy clothes That's your style And you want the world to know You're a fortunate child And you think you bought My love like a toy And you better watch your step My pride and joy You never know what you've got Till it's gone Listen baby You never know what you've got Till it's gone You better not play with love Till you know what you're doin' You never know what you've got Till it's gone A big house in Hollywood Boy you're cool You want it understand You know what's good I'm tired of hangin' 'round Playin' games Don't treat me like a clown I'm not to play You never know what you've got Till it's gone Listen baby You never know what you've got Till it's gone You better not play with love Till you know what you're doin' You never know what you've got Till it's gone Take a look around you See what love has done to you I don't wanna leave you You better watch out You better watch out You never know what you've got You never know what you've got Yeah baby Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You never know what you've got Till it's gone Listen baby You never know what you've got Till it's gone You better not play with love Till you know what you're doin' You never know what you've got Till it's gone Repeat last verse to fade.
