That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
[Verse 1]
Have a feeling, now believing that you
Were the one I was meant to be with
Oh how I'm wishing, thinking, dreaming
'Bout you, and the love
How'd I ever let you get away?
[PreChorus]
Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's—
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's—
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's— (Joni Mitchell never lies)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
[Verse 2]
If I could turn back the hands of time
Make you, fall in love, in love with me again
So would you give me another chance to love
To love you, love you the right way, no games
[PreChorus]
Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's—
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's—
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's— (One two, one two, yo)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
[Verse 3]
Now you realizing when them nights go long, right?
Campaign for me to stay when you know that I'm gone, right?
You act all wild, when I tell you to settle
I was working 'round the clock, but your girls want to meddle
Talk about I heard he swims with this chick on the beach
That was out with the tide but my love you impeach
Now you looking at the walls, head in hand, cold jonesin'
Ringing my house, hanging up and imposing
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh? (Got 'til it's gone)
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh? (Got 'til it's gone)
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh? (Got 'til it's gone)
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that, huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh? (Got 'til it's gone)
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that and do that
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's—
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's—
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's— (Joni Mitchell never lies)
[Outro]
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone (Joni Mitchell never lies)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's—
