Paroles: Damn Yankees. A Man Doesn't Know (reprise 1).

[JOE]
A man doesn't know what he has until he loses it,
When a man has the love of a woman he abuses it,
I didn't know what I had when I had my old love,
I didn't know what I had 'till I said, "Goodbye, old love!"
Yes, a man doesn't know what he has 'til it is no longer around
But the happy thought is
Whatever it is he's lost, may some day once again be found!

[MEG]
I know what you mean Joe,
Only too well
For I am lonely just like you
Lonley for my Joe, My sweet Joe
How really sweet I never knew
I really never knew


A woman doesn't know what she has until she loses it,

[JOE]
I didn't know what I had 'till I said, "Goodbye old love!"
Yes, a man doesn't know what he has 'til it is no longer around

[BOTH]
But the happy thought is
Whatever it is he's/she's lost, may some day once again be found!
