Don't Know What You've Got ('Til It's Gone) [Live] Lyrics
Cinderella
Lyrics
I can't tell you baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heart aches come and go and
All that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time, think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really wanna go
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
I can't feel the things that cause you pain
I can't clear my heart of your love it falls like rain
Ain't the same
I hear you calling far away
Tearing through my soul
I just can't take another day
Who's to blame
If we take some time, think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really wanna go
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
Do you wanna see me beggin' baby
Can't you give me just one more day
Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately
I've been looking for the words to say
Ooooh
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong, wrong, wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong, wrong, wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
