How many times did I let it slide by when the boys got the pick of the best 

I didn`t know what to do I couldn`t pick up a clue going home all alone in my bed 

I was a high school loser never made it with a lady when I did I got the best 

She knew it all taught me everything but what I learned best lesson was when she left...I learned 

Heartbreak`s a blessing 

But you don`t know it then 

It likes to mess your mind up 

Heartbreak`s your best friend 

I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head I got a wall going `round my heart 

I see my friend`s go through trouble and when trouble`s around it always leads to a girl in the end 

I didn`t know it`d be this hard to find 

Never knew it`d take this long 

But if I`m gonna have to wait I`m gonna wait 

I`ll probably die an old man alone

When I see a pretty lady walking down the street 

My eyes get overtaken my knees get weak 

I can talk the talk but I`m easily tempted Resisting a good looking woman ain`t so easy in the end 

I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head I got a wall going `round my heart 

I see my friend`s go through trouble and when trouble`s around it always leads to a girl in the end 

I didn`t know it`d be this hard to find 

Never knew it`d take this long 

But if I`m gonna have to wait I`m gonna wait 

I`ll probably die an old man alone...I like that 

Heartbreak`s a blessing 

But you don`t know it then 

It likes to mess your mind up 

Heartbreak`s your best friend
