- LYRICS -



[Spoken: Janet]

What's, what's the next song?



[Spoken: Q-Tip]

The one about me



[Spoken: Janet]

Oh yea, I like this...

Like Joni says



[Refrain: Joni Mitchell]

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

That you don't know what you've got til it's gone



[Verse 1: Janet]

Have a feeling, now believing that you

Were the one I was meant to be with

Oh how I'm wishing, thinking, dreaming

Bout you, and the love

How'd I ever let you get away



[Manipulated Joni Mitchell Sample]

Don't it always seem

Don't it always seem

Don't it always seem

Don't it always seem



[Refrain: Joni Mitchell]

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Q-Tip: Joni Mitchell never lies

That you don't know what you've got til it's



[Verse 2: Janet]

If I could turn back the hands of time

Make you, fall in love, in love with me again

So would you give me another chance to love

To love you, love you the right way, no games



[Refrain: Joni Mitchell]

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's



[Verse 3: Q-Tip]

One two, one two, yo

Let me just fuck with it for a minute, what

Now you realizing when them nights go long, right

Campaign for me to stay when you know that I'm gone, right

You act all wild, when I tell you to settle

I was working round the clock, but your girls want to meddle

Talk about I heard he swims with this chick on the beach

That was out with the tide but my love you impeach

Now you looking at the walls, head in hands, cold jonezin

Ringing my house, hanging up and imposing

Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh

Now why you wanna go and do that and do that huh

Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh

Now why you wanna go and do that and do that huh

Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh

Now why you wanna go and do that and do that huh

Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh

Now why you wanna go and do that



[Refrain: Joni Mitchell]

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til it's

Q-Tip: Joni Mitchell never lies

That you don't know what you've got til it's gone



[Spoken: Q-Tip]

Yo, do you feel that?



[Manipulated Joni Mitchell Sample]

That you don't know what you've got til it's gone

That you don't know what you've got til it's gone



[Spoken: Q-Tip]

Dust
