I loved you better
It's plain to see
I loved you better

Ooh, I've seen you around
I saw her too
So good that you found
Something new
She knows just how to give
And to get it back
She's got it all except the one thing I had

Boy
I loved you better
It's plain to see
I loved you better

Ooh, used to wonder how
Much you cried
Couldn't care less now
If I tried
'Cause she's got everything
All a girl could be
Except the one thing I had going for me

Let me tell you about it
You see
When you left every night for weeks and weeks
I counted tears instead of sheep
But that was then, and this is now
And one day soon you'll find out how
Just how much that I was worth
And which of us you really hurt

I loved you better
It's plain to see
I loved you better

You see
A black cat must have crossed my path
On the day you turned your back
'Cause it turns out you set me free
And that's the way a girl should be
I promise one day soon you'll come to know
That no one else came even close
