Do You Know What You Have?

Brandy · Two Eleven [2012]

They say you don't know when you're losing a good thing

Until it's gone

And I sometimes think to myself

Does he know?



Now all I hear you saying is "Don't stop"

Did-did you forget that?

What's that look on your face, are you surprised?

You act like you can't believe this

Go on, lay your head back while I set it off

What you thinkin' 'bout, is it me or her?

You say you'll never leave, I ain't insecure

What you yelling for? Already?



Do you know what you got here?

Do you know...

[x4]



I don't think you recognize

Love

I'm certified, ride or die

Trust

Why do I have to ask

Is it good enough

Don't you see in me

How much I'm in it for

Take a bullet for ya

If I had to

Take my heart from me

Might point it at ya



Do you know what you got here?

Do you know...

[x4]



If you forgot what's waiting here

When you change your mind but

You're free to go

Just do me a favor

Leave your keys on the table

If you forgot the way this feels

When you change your mind boy,

You're free to go, yeah yeah



Does he know?



Do you know what you got here?

Do you know...
