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 

Till 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 

Till I threw it away 

Each day my hindsight just gets better, but I know that love is blind 

You were the only ray of sunshine I was ever 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 

Till 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 

Till 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 

Till I threw it away, hey, hey 

You said that I'd regret the day I let you go 

I'd wind up stranded like some 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 

Till 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 

Till I threw it away 

No, I didn't know I had it 

Till I threw it away
