You think I'll cry, I won't
I love you, well I don't
Woulda then, now I see
Got the best of me.

You ran around, and why
To fit in with the guys
Did it work' Are you pleased
Got the best of me.

Shoulda known what ya had
Ridiculous!
Broke it up, broke it bad
You ruined us!
Shoulda known what ya had
Shoulda known what ya had' ya didn't, though!

Gave it away! Why should I stay' Nothin' to say!
Just a buncha lame apologies!
Say goodbye
To the best of me!

Threw it away, baby, to play, but it's okay
I refuse to be a casualty!
Say goodbye
To the best of me, best of me!

You wait, a month or so
We'll meet again, and oh
Gonna hurt; who is he
Got the best of me

He'll shake your hand, pretend
You're gonna be our friend
Then I'll leave, understand
With the better man!
