"You Don't Miss A Good Thing (Until It's Gone)" lyrics

I went through life thinking I knew what I want
I just wanted the fast guys and nothing but fun
But then I met the sweetest man who really loved me
But I treated him wrong
And you don't miss a good thing until it's gone
'Til it's gone

He was a guy who did everything to please
But I couldn't see the forest for the trees
And then I took the night lights and the good times
Oh, and I found out I was wrong
And you don't miss a good thing until it's gone
Oh, 'til it's gone

Girls, they say that true love comes only once in a lifetime
And that kind of love stared me right
In the face, oh, but I was too blind
Yes, I had a good life right in the palms of my hand
Oh, and I traded it for the night lights
And what did it get me? It got me absolutely nothing
'Cause I lost, I lost a good man

I tell you that you don't miss a good thing, oh, 'til it's gone
Oh, yes you don't
I tell you that you don't, no-no, no-no, oh, no you don't
Oh no, you don't
I tell you that you don't miss a good thing, oh, 'til it's gone
Oh, 'til it's gone, gone
I tell you that you don't miss, no, no, no, you don't
