Lyrics
Uh, what?
So you want me to start?
I mean, we ain't seen each other in a while (okay) (what? What? What?)
(Don't it always seem to go)
It's been a long time, yeah (and now)
So what you doing? (That you don't know what you've got 'til it's)
I'm saying, I'm like- (uh)
Don't it always seem to go (uh)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (uh, uh, uh)
Don't it always seem to go (uh, uh)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's
Uh, uh, uh
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's (what?)
Have a feeling, now believing that you
Were the one I was meant to be with (uh, uh, uh)
Oh, how I'm wishing, thinking, dreaming (uh, what?)
'Bout you and the love (uh, uh, what?)
How'd I ever let you get away?
Got 'til it's gone (uh, uh, uh)
Got 'til it's gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (uh, uh, what?)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (uh, uh, what?)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (what?)
(Joni Mitchell never lies)
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone (what?)
If I could turn back the hands of time (mhm)
Make you fall in love, in love with me again (uh)
So would you give me another chance to love (uh, uh, uh, uh)
To love you, love you the right way? No games
Got 'til it's gone
Got 'til it's gone (what? What?)
Joni Mitchell never lies
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (uh)
Don't it always seem to go
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 gone? (Two, one two, yo)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
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 (I heard)
Talk about (you know I'm sayin'? I heard)
"I heard he swims with this chick on the beach" (that you were on the beach)
That was out with the tide but my love you impeach
Now you looking at the walls, head in hands, 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 and do that)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (yeah, yeah)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (you never ever realize)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? (uh)
(Joni Mitchell never lies)
(What?)
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
Uh
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? (uh)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
