Text: Catch 22. Dinosaur Sounds. Motown Cinderella.

She wanted me to tell you to leave
She wanted me to let you know
That you don't understand her
She just needs some time to breathe

She couldn't have told you better herself
'Cuz she was in love with somebody else
I don't know why I had to be the messenger boy
The messenger boy, I guess that somebody was me

Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what you did so wrong
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know why you did it so wrong

She wanted me to tell her my fears
She wanted me to let it all go
I don't know why I said it, I just can't trust anyone
I knew she was true, I knew she was true

I never liked the sound of bein' alone much
Just one touch to help with the coldness
Persuasion was a trait that she held in her hand
When she took mine and I understood then

Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what you did so wrong
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know why you did it so wrong

And I did you wrong, you said I was just like him
But that's where you're wrong, he never wrote you a love song
It seemed like no sooner than I got my feet on the ground
The words slipped away, say

And baby, I hear you, know what you're sayin'
And I feel it too 'cuz you've got somethin' I've never had
This kind of love I can sing about, yeah
And you're hearin' me now, oh, hear me now
