You Don't Know What You Got (Until You Love It) - Ral Donner

Peaked at # 4 in 1961

You don’t know what you’ve got until you lose it

You gave me you-your love but I abused it

And now I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say

`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way

(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

You don’t know what you’ve got until you lose it

You gave me you-your love but I misused it

I never knew how lonely loneliness could be

And now I need you, dear, as you once needed me

(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

So now if you’d come to this lonely heart you own

I’d give you all my lovin' like you’ve never known

(bung, bung, bung, bung)

You don’t know what you’ve got until you lose it

You gave me you-your love but I misused it

And now I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say

`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way

(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

Fade

(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah)
