You don′t know what you got, until you lose it, And I can testify that that's the truth, I had it all and didn′t know how to use it, I was so stupid - it was right before my eyes. Yeah, now I've been lookin' all my life, Waiting for the perfect time, Never knew that I would find it, Right back where I started from, Why′d I have to go so far, When everything was where you are, How′d I know that you'd be waitin′, Right back where I started from. Who can tell ya where the river's flowin′, Just ride the wave - let it take ya down, All the twists and turns I navigated, It's so frustratin′, that you were there all the time, Yeah all the time. Now I've been lookin' all my life, Waiting for the perfect time, Never knew that I would find it, Right back where I started from, Why′d I have to go so far, When everything was where you are, How′d I know that you'd be waitin′, Right back where I started from, Oh where I started from, Ahh I started from here. I know where I'm headed to - it′s right back where I've been, I′ve been looking all my life, Waiting for the perfect time, Never knew that I would find it, Right back where I started from, Ohh why'd I have to go so far, When everything was where you are, How'd I know that you be waiting, Right back where I started from, Yeah where I started from, Oh where I started from - Yeah, Right back there.
