right back where i started from lyrics

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

And 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

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

Who can tell ya where the rivers flowin'
Just ride the wave, let it take ya down, yeah
All the twists and turns I navigated
It's so frustratin', you were there all the time
Yeah, all the time

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

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
Where I started from, 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

Oh, 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
