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
