Verse 1:
|
I used to think that you were heaven sent
|
Cause you appeared to be the perfect gentleman.
|
You would open doors and make those daily calls
|
Just to check and see if I needed anything at all.
|
You used to be concerned
|
Then things changed suddenly,
|
And when something went wrong
|
You were never there to see.
|
When I would tell you that I need comforting
|
You would tell me you were kickin' it with "Ray and them."
|
|
Chorus
|
Losing you had to be
|
The best thing that ever happened to me
|
Even though I cried a little
|
And I tried a little
|
I learned what a good woman really needs
|
Losing you had to be,
|
The best thing that ever happened to me
|
Now that I'm over the pain
|
I found love again.
|
With a man that makes me so happy
|
|
Verse 2:
|
You would get mad at me over stupid things
|
Now why would I be going through the pockets of your Jeans?
|
I had suspicions and I felt something was goin' on
|
You blame me for cheatin'
|
But it was you doin' something wrong.
|
They say that guilt will break ya down,
|
And lately you've been calling, but it's too late now.
|
And I just wanna' thank you for leaving when you did
|
'Cause I never woulda' fell in love with him.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Losing you had to be
|
The best thing that ever happened to me.
|
Even though I cried a little
|
And I tried a little
|
I learned what a good woman really needs
|
Losing you had to be,
|
The best thing that ever happened to me.
|
Now that I'm over the pain
|
I found love again.
|
With a man that makes me so happy
|
|
Bridge:
|
Thank you for the silly arguments
|
You made me realize
|
And the times you tried to kill my self-confidence
|
Now I know the reasons why
|
I appreciate you leaving me when you did
|
Cause you made me understand
|
Cause I never woulda' saw the great man that I found in him
|
|
Chorus:
|
Losing you had to be
|
The best thing that ever happened to me
|
Even though I cried a little
|
And I tried a little
|
I learned what a good woman really needs
|
Losing you had to be,
|
The best thing that ever happened to me
|
Now that I'm over the pain
|
I found love again.
