You Don't Know What You've Got Lyrics
Did you take me for a fool I don't think so
Did you think that you could see it in my eyes
You bled me like a stone and left me nothing
But you're the one that's luring with the lies
Up down turn around you're driving me insane
In out there's no doubt you're the loser in the end
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone
Maybe you can think of some invention
To make me see you in a different light
But it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference
Even if you found a second sight
Up down turn around you're driving me insane
In out there's no doubt you're the loser in the end
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone
Give me one good reason why I should believe you
I lost my faith in you and that's no lie
You're heading for a final retribution
I think it's time we said our last goodbye
Did you think that you could see it in my eyes
You bled me like a stone and left me nothing
But you're the one that's luring with the lies
In out there's no doubt you're the loser in the end
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone
To make me see you in a different light
But it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference
Even if you found a second sight
In out there's no doubt you're the loser in the end
You don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone
I lost my faith in you and that's no lie
You're heading for a final retribution
I think it's time we said our last goodbye

The song explores themes of betrayal, realization, and the consequences of taking things for granted, specifically love and relationships. It depicts a story of someone who has been deceived and taken advantage of, only to realize the true value of what they had after it is lost. The character has felt used and taken for a tool, only to leave their partner, telling them how they felt they weren't getting recognized for their worth or efforts.
In conclusion, this is another toxic love song from Saxon that conveys a powerful message about the consequences of taking things, relationships and/or opportunities for granted. It serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of recognizing the true significance of people and things in our lives before they are lost forever.
