Fingers and thumbs - Erasure

You don't know what you've got till it's gone
A hint of the scent then it's gone
Look at the state of you
You're all fingers and thumbs
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
Once when my hands were full
We were double or quits then some
Nothing at all to show for a love so precious
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
Gone and blown it all
And then you say
'This can't be happening to me'
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
Don't know what you've got till it's gone
The thrill of the chase then it's gone
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on
And life is a wonderful thing
When you're humming the words to a love song
Do what you want to do
Be who you want to be
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
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
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
[Here I do walk]
[Frost amongst the flowers]
[On a cold summers day]
[On a cold summers day]
[Frost amongst the flowers]
[On a cold summers day]
[I never said that]
[I never said that]
[It wouldn't work out]
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
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
[How the days have flown]
[They said it wouldn't last]
[Much too much to ask]
[Your heart is made of glass]
[Love will save the day]
[See you go away]
[Like a shattered heart]
A shattered heart in love's debris
Gone and blown it all
How can you say
'It doesn't matter much to me'
A dumb mistake
Too much to pay
