Lyrics

[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—

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—
