Didn't Know I Had It lyrics - Cheap Trick

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 along...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.

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 you...ooh, 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 away...hey, hey.

[SOLO]

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 along...ooh, 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.
