The Best Thing You Ever Had Lyrics

I hope you are happy
With your new love
I hope she brings you joy
Into your world
But just leave on baby
Time is gonna prove I was the best thing you ever had
I know I was
I don't hold nothing against you
For you to destroy my mind
Take my whole life too
But leave on baby (time is gonna prove)
Time is gonna prove I was the best thing you ever had (yes I was the best thing you ever had)
I know I was

How many tears have to fall?
Oh lord I don't believe you don't have no heart at all
How many hearts must be broken in two?
For your conscience to start to wane on you
I suffered, I suffered so long
You get your pleasure out of doing me wrong
But leave, leave, leave, leave (time is gonna prove)
Time is gonna prove (I was the best thing)
The best thing, the best thing you ever had
Oooh

Leave on baby, I just want you to leave on (leave on baby, baby leave on)
You leave on baby, I want you to leave on (leave on baby, baby leave on)
Leave on baby (time is gonna prove)
Time is gonna prove
(I was the best thing) you ever had
(Yes I was the best thing you ever had) I know I was
Oooh
You made me suffer, so I want you to leave on (leave on baby, baby leave on)
You made me stay home all night long (leave on baby, baby leave on)
So I want you to leave on
I want you to leave on baby (time is gonna prove)
Time is gonna prove
I was the best thing you ever had
Yes I was the best thing you ever had
