Damn Yankees the Musical - A Man Doesn't Know Lyrics

JOE:
A man doesn't know what he has until he loses it,
When a man has the love of a woman he abuses it,
I didn't know what I had when I had my old love,
I didn't know what I had 'till I said, "Goodbye, old love!"
Yes, a man doesn't know what he has 'til it is no longer around
But the happy thought is
Whatever it is he's lost,
May some day once again be found!

HARDY:
I know what you mean Joe
Only too well for I am lonely just like you
Lonely for my Joe
My sweet Joe
How really sweet I never knew
I never really knew

BOTH:
A woman doesn't know what she has
Until she loses it
When a woman has the love of a man
She abuses it
I didn't know what I had when I had my old love
I didn't know what I had till I said goodbye old love
Yes a man doesn't know what he has till it is no longer around
But the happy thought is
Whatever he's lost may someday once again be found
