  1. I wish you gave me a reason

  2. That you were better at leavin'

  3. That you got your kicks from seeing me low

  4. I always let the good ones go

  5. Don't want the kisses, unless they're bitter

  6. I'm hooked on touches that leave me weaker

  7. I swear that I love nothing more than broke

  8. I always let the good ones go

  1. And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better

  2. But doin' this is all that I've known ever

  3. I want the bad ones, 'cause they're all I know

  4. I always let the good ones go

  5. I always let the good ones go

  6. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

  7. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,ooh-ooh

  8. I let the good ones go

  9. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

  10. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

  11. I let the good ones

  12. Let you down easy, I'm trying

  13. 'Cause you're everything I've spent my whole life fighting

  14. So when I walk away, it's not your fault

  15. I always let the good ones go

  16. And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better

  17. But doin' this is all that I've known ever

  18. I want the bad ones, 'cause they're all I know

  19. I always let the good ones go

  20. I always let the good ones go

  21. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

  22. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (oh-oh-oh), ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (oh)

  23. I let the good ones go

  24. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

  25. Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (yeah, yeah)

  26. I let the good ones go

  27. And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better

  28. Better, better

  29. I let the good ones go

  30. But doing this is all that I've known ever

  31. Ever, ever

  32. I let the good ones go

Good Ones

I wish you gave me a reason

That you were better at leavin'

That you got your kicks from seeing me low

I always let the good ones go

Don't want the kisses, unless they're bitter

I'm hooked on touches that leave me weaker

I swear that I love nothing more than broke

I always let the good ones go

And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better

But doin' this is all that I've known ever

I want the bad ones, 'cause they're all I know

I always let the good ones go

I always let the good ones go

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,ooh-ooh

I let the good ones go

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I let the good ones

Let you down easy, I'm trying

'Cause you're everything I've spent my whole life fighting

So when I walk away, it's not your fault

I always let the good ones go

And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better

But doin' this is all that I've known ever

I want the bad ones, 'cause they're all I know

I always let the good ones go

I always let the good ones go

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (oh-oh-oh), ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (oh)

I let the good ones go

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (yeah, yeah)

I let the good ones go

And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better

Better, better

I let the good ones go

But doing this is all that I've known ever

Ever, ever

I let the good ones go
