What You Got [Home Recording][#] Lyrics

One
Hey, hey

Don't wanna be a drag
Everybody gotta pay
I know you know
'Bout the emperor's clothes

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance

Ooh
Alright
Hey

Well, it's Saturday night and I just gotta rip it up
Sunday morning, I just gotta give it up, hey
Come Monday, mama, and I just gotta run away
You know it's such a drag to face another day

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby give me one more chance

Hey, hey
Alright
Ow

You know the more it change
The more it stays the same
You gotta hang on in,
You gotta cut the string

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know, you don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby give me one more chance

Come on, baby
Hey, hey
Alright

Hey, hey
Alright

Hey, hey

Don't wanna be a drag
Everybody gotta pay
I know you know 
'Bout the emperor's clothes

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance

Ooh
Alright
Hey

Well, it's Saturday night and I just gotta rip it up
Sunday morning, I just gotta give it up, hey
Come Monday, mama, and I just gotta run away
You know it's such a drag to face another day

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby give me one more chance

Hey, hey
Alright
Ow

You know the more it change
The more it stays the same
You gotta hang on in,
You gotta cut the string

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know, you don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby give me one more chance

Come on, baby
Hey, hey
Alright

Hey, hey
Alright

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
