You're the best I've ever seen,
 Oh God I wanted you.
 I've often dreamed what I would do,
 If I could give myself to you,
 Oh God I wanted to.
 But up 'til now you've not been free to be
 Foolin' around with the likes of me.
 But it's changed now, though it's strange how,
 He's the one that arranged it now.

 But he's a poor damned fool
 'Cause he went and let you go now.
 Just a poor damned fool.
 He never will know now.
 Maybe someday he'll be sad.
 I say that that's too bad,
 He never knew how much he had.
 I'm glad I got you now.

 Yes I've had my ups and downs
 As I've been ramblin' around
 And I'll be candid.
 I could not believe my eyes
 When I finally realized
 Just what that man did.
 Yes I've heard 'bout finders keepers
 And how losers are the weepers, it's OK,
 I know it's my lucky day
 Still I just got to say . . .

 That he's a poor damned fool
 'Cause he went and let you go now.
 Just a poor damned fool.
 He never will know now.
 Maybe someday he'll be sad.
 I say that that's too bad,
 He never knew how much he had.
 I'm glad I got you now.

 Oh how I'd love to hear you say
 You're glad that it worked out this way
 And you'll forget about yesterday
 'Cause you feel so good.
 It's worked out real good.
 You make me feel so good.

 I've been tryin' to find a way to cope
 With grasping straws And fallen hopes.
 But he's made a way
 And now his misfortune is my gain.
 Though for now it gives you pain
 It'll fade away
 And you'll find that as the years roll by
 The memories of the time you cried
 Will be laid away
 Yes, they'll fade away

 And you'll forget that poor damned fool
 'Cause he went and let you go now.


 Just a poor damned fool.
 He never will know now.
 Maybe someday he'll be sad.
 I say that that's too bad
 He never knew how much he had.
 I'm glad I got you now.
 He was a poor damn fool
