losing you lyrics

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 need 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

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

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', 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, oh

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

Thank you for the silly arguments
Oh, you made me realize
And the times you tried to kill my self-confidence
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

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

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
