But you don't what you got till it's gone, And you don't know what it's like to feel so low, yeah And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow You don't even know! yeah, oh, yeah, ohhh, yeah, yeah You don't even know! know, know! So I'll wait till kingdom come All the highs and lows are gone A little bit longer and I'll be fine I'll be, fine
