A Man Doesn't Know (reprise 1) 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! 

[MEG] 

I know what you mean Joe, 

Only too well 

For I am lonely just like you 

Lonley for my Joe, My sweet Joe 

How really sweet I never knew 

I really never 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!" 

Yes, a man doesn't know what he has 'til it is no longer around
