A Man Doesn't Know Lyrics - Damn Yankees

[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 'til it is no longer around 

But the happy thought is 

Whatever it is he's lost, may some day once again be found!
