Damn Yankees Soundtrack Lyrics
A Man Doesn't Know
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
Till it is no longer around,
But the happy thought is,
Whatever it is he's lost,
May someday once again be found.
Meg:
I know what you mean, Joe, only too well,
For I am lonely, just like you.
Lonely for my Joe.
My sweet Joe.
How really sweet I never knew.
I never really knew.
A woman doesn't know what she has
Until she loses it,
When a woman has the love of a man
She abuses it,
I didn't know what I had,
When I had my old love,
Joe:
I didn't know what I had
Till I said, "Goodbye, old love!"
Both:
Yes, a man doesn't know what he has
Till it is no longer around,
But the happy thought is,
Whatever it is he's lost,
May someday once again be found.
