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
