Les paroles

1. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT

I was caught so unaware
When you made other plans
Promises you swore to keep
Where more than you could stand.

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone.

I can't stand to hear your name
'Cause you were so unkind
And though you think
you made out well
Someday you will find

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone.

Shame on you, I gave you love
I gave you love so true
But you ran away
So you just don't know
what cha' blew
Yeah, yeah.

You don't know what you've got
Oh baby
You don't know what you've got
I thought I knew you
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone.

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

I was weak when you were there
And I felt so protected
But I'll make sure that you regret
The one that you rejected.

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone.

Oh baby
You really blew it
Oh baby
I thought you knew me
Oh baby
Oh baby.


2. DON'T ABUSE ME

Before I was in
A rock n' roll band
I couldn't get the time of day
Now I'm doin' everything I can
I thought I had it made
Strangers drop in
And pretend they're friends
People I don't even know
I want you, I need you
It's so hard to tell
And what you're really feelin'
Won't show.

Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're tryin' to use me
Why don't you just go away.

You took me around
An' you showed me the town
I thought you were kind of nice
But if someone stepped in
With more to show
You'd drop me without thinkin' twice
You tie yourself to my apron strings
Thinkin' your friends will be impressed
You get your way by bribin' me
Tellin' me I'm the best.

Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're tryin' to use me
Why don't you just go away.

Who can I trust an' where can I go
To find someone who truly wants me
Take me for what I am
That's the way it's gotta be
Rock n' roll love you want so bad
Tellin' everybody you're mine
But we both know deep down inside
You're just diggin' for every dime.

2. I'M GONNA RUN AWAY

I can't take it
This is gettin' silly
Can't find me so tranquility
We're fakin'it,it's time to do admit it
You make me feel like an idiot
All the time,there's nothin' left fot me to do
No,so

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah yeah,i'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you.

We were friends but now you're the enemy
Don't need this when there's a remedy
It's the end
Play you trick on someone new.

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah yeah,i'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you.

Ain't life strange,how people change
You were all i wanted once
Now you're just a pain,pain.

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah yeah,i'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you.

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah yeah,i'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you.
