[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A hint of the scent then it's gone
Look at the state of you you're all fingers and thumbs

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
So who's your latest flame
Driving 'em wild in the fast lane
I won't say I told you so, but the boy has no shame (No shame)

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Once when my hands were full
We were double or quits then some
Nothin' at all to show for a love so precious

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Gone and blown it all, how can you say
It doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
The thrill of the chase then it's gone
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on
[Verse 4: Andy Bell]
And life is a wonderful thing
When you're humming the words to a love song
Do what you wanna do be who you want to be

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
When I'm in your arms I'm strong
There's nowhere I'd rather be
We shine for liberty, life and the pursuit of pleasure

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Gone and blown it all, how can you say
It doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

[Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
Gone and blown it all and then you say
This isn't happening to me
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

[Interlude: Andy Bell]
A cold summer's day
Wooh! Oooh!
A cold summer's day
Fast and not so fast
While the cold summer's day
Whooah
I never said that
It wouldn't work out
[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Gone and blown it all, how can you say
It doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

[Chorus 3: Andy Bell]
How the days have flown too few and fast
They said it wasn't meant to last
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

[Coda: Andy Bell]
How the days have flown
Said it wouldn't last
Much too much to ask
Your heart is made of glass
Love will save the day
See it blow away
Like a shattered heart
A shattered heart in love's debris

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Gone and blown it all, how can you say
It doesn't matter much to me?
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
