Shoulda thought about love

Shoulda thought about love

You need my love

[Chorus]

You don't know a good thing 'til you lose it

And you won't realize 'til it's gone

You don't know a good thing 'til you lose it

And you won't realize 'til it's gone wrong

[Verse 1]

A good thing

Is the touch of a breeze blowing cool air on your burning face

Yeah, that's a good thing

Oh a good thing

Is to know someone's there when your heart's craving for a warm embrace

Yeah, that's a good thing

A good thing, a good thing

Is something I thought we had and prayed it would never end, ooh no, no

But now that you did what you did

I don't think that my heart will understand

Your loving in my life will never mend

Oh no, no, no, but you never

[Chorus]

You don't know a good thing 'til you lose it

And you won't realize 'til it's gone

You don't know a good thing 'til you lose it

And you won't realize 'til it's gone wrong

[Verse 2]

A good thing

Is to help someone out when they're down and in need of a friend, oh

A good thing (Good thing)

Is to come home and be with the one you love again and again, oh, oh

A good thing, oh

Is something I thought we had and prayed it would never end, oh no, no, no, no, no

But now that you did what you did

I don't think that my heart will understand

Your loving in my life will never mend

Oh no, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

You don't know a good thing 'til you lose it

And you won't realize 'til it's gone

You don't know a good thing 'til you lose it

And you won't realize 'til it's gone wrong

[Refrain]

Ooooh, shoulda thought about love

Ooooh, shoulda thought about love

Shoulda thought about love (You don't know a good thing)

You need my love

[Chorus]

You don't know a good thing

You don't know a good thing

You don't know a good thing

You don't know a good thing 'til it's gone wrong

You don't know 'til you lose it

You don't know 'til it's gone far away

You don't know 'til you lose it

You don't know 'til it's gone far away
