I was so in love with you
There was nothing I could do
Wouldn't give me the time of day
Now you wanna be with me
You say you wanna be with me
You said I was the best
Gave your love out to the rest
There was nothing I could say
But now it's going good for me
You say you wanna be with me now
And you're telling me that I am where it's at
But I ain't having none of that
Because I told you you'd live to regret it
And now I don't wanna make you feel bad
But when it comes to me, just forget it
I'll be the best you never had
You put me through so many emotions
Now, baby, it's your turn for that
'Cause in your empty heart, I have left a mark
The best you never had
No, no, no
You saw me as a friend
Baby, I don't want revenge
But if you must know the truth
What you didn't see in me
Reflects what you will never be now
When you're telling me I always was the one
I feel your desperation
Because I told you you'd live to regret it
And now I don't wanna make you feel bad
But when it comes to me, just forget it
I'll be the best you never had
You put me through so many emotions
Now, baby, it's your turn for that
'Cause in your empty heart, I have left a mark
The best you never had
Back rubs, good love, my stuff
That's what you missed out on
My touch, so much we could have had
And baby, you miss (you miss) my kiss (my kiss), my lips
The love I had for you
Our song, so long
Baby, don't it make you sad
Because I told you you'd live to regret it
And now I don't wanna make you feel bad
But when it comes to me, just forget it
I'll be the best you never had
You put me through so many emotions (no, no)
Now, baby, it's your turn for that
'Cause in your empty heart, I have left a mark
The best you never had
Because I told you you'd live to regret it
And now I don't wanna make you feel bad (no, no, no)
But when it comes to me, just forget it
I'll be the best you never had
You put me through so many emotions
Now, baby, it's your turn for that
'Cause in your empty heart, I have left a mark
The best you never had
Well, I will always be the best you never had
The best you never had
