You never know what you've got

until you chase it away

and you knew it all along

but you'd like to let me think that I'm right

so you can prove me dead wrong

and I was busy trying to think of something clever to say

by the time the words hit my tongue

you had yourself a brilliant idea

to take your heart and run

and I know that I'm nearly impossible

but I'll tell you what I'll tell you what honey

no other girl in this whole wide world

is gonna give you this kind of

run for your money

and in the battle for your heart

I wanna know who you've been rooting for all of this time

cause babe I've been trying to win it

but I've got a feeling I'm no longer in it

but here I am down on the floor

begging for just one, just one, just one more

go around on the minute hand

cause I'm still in it man

you never know how good it was

til it gets bad

when it all went south

I wished that I could turn it all back

and never open my mouth

and I know that I'm nearly impossible

but I'll tell you what I'll tell you what honey

no other girl in this whole wide world

is gonna give you this kind of

run for your money

and in the battle for your heart

I wanna know who you've been rooting for all of this time

cause babe I've been trying to win it

but I've got a feeling I'm no longer in it

but here I am down on the floor

begging for just one, just one, just one more

go around on the minute hand

cause I'm still in it man

you sure know how to make a girl work for her food

well I'm guessing you've realized you like me

a little bit more than you think you should

but don't expect me to write or call you

after all you made me do

when all the work in the world

ain't enough for a girl like me to have a boy like you

you never know what you've got

until you chase it away

and in the battle for your heart

I wanna know who you've been rooting for all of this time

cause babe I've been trying to win it

but I've got a feeling I'm no longer in it

but here I am down on the floor

begging for just one, just one, just one more

go around on the minute hand

cause I'm still in it man

oh I sure am

so how bout one more round on the minute hand

cause I'm still in it man
