you never know what you got

i know you'll never find another love like mine

and i know just what you're gonna do

you've said those words before

walked out and closed the door

but you'll come right back

you know it's true

we had so many times together

and we always seemed to make the magic last

if we let it get away

the love we had may never be the same

and

you'll never know what you got until it's over

you'll never know what you're missing

till love slips away

you'll never know what you got until it's over

and you're all alone sitting by the phone

i guess i'll never see my place in history

and i know just what i'm gonna do

i'll write a page in time

and make you change your mind

and you'll see how much you mean to me

i know i'll never be a hero

or the kind of guy who sets the world on fire

but if you let me try

i know i'd give the sky to you and

you'll never know what you got until it's over

you'll never know what you're missing

till love slips away

you'll never know what you got until it's over

and you're all alone sitting by the phone
