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. With a man that makes me so happy
