Cheap Trick - Didn't Know I Had It lyrics

It was so easy that I started
Thinkin' somethin' had to change
The gift of love was somethin' that I
Thought I'd go out and exchange
I didn't realize how much you meant to me
And now you're locked up with a
Brand new set of keys
You said I might regret the day I let you go
I'd wind up stranded like a washed up gigolo
I'd get more static than a broken radio
You were the right one all alongooh

'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
I've been holdin' everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
Oh, I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
Each day my hindsight just gets better
But I know that love is blind
(Love is blind)
You were the only ray of sunshine
I was ever gonna find (Gonna find)
You were the magic and I made you disappear
Now I'd give everything I own
To have you here
You told me I was gonna make a big mistake
I didn't know how many times
My heart could break
Now in the middle of the night
I'm still awake
And all I can think of is youooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
I've been holdin' everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away

Now I know in my heart, I threw it away
I've been holdin' onto everything
Except for love i wish I had you back today
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it awayhey hey

You said that I'd regret the day I let you go
(Day I let you go) i'd wind up stranded like
Some washed up gigolo (Washed up gigolo)
I'd get more static than a broken radio
You were the right one all alongooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
I've been holdin' everything except for love
I wish I had you back today
'Cause, I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
No, I didn't know I had it
'Til I threw it away
