Lyrics

VERSE
Everybody lookin’ hard for the right one; they don’t come along everyday
The one I found was second to none; look like everything goin’ my way
I went to a party and took her; she was lookin’ fine, oh, so fine
I was feelin’ really good, yes, sir, ’til they were dancin’ the bump and grind

PRE-CHORUS
Yeah, even before she was mine
She left me cryin,’ dyin’ on the vine

CHORUS
She’s the best thing I never had
I wanted her, man, I wanted her bad
But then she went and made me so mad
She’s the best thing I never had

VERSE
I went over and tried to intervene, tried to reclaim what was mine
But it was like puttin’ out a fire with gasoline; yeah, they were doin’ just fine
I didn’t know him from Adam’s house cat; guess he saw what I saw in her, too
I never saw her again after that; they went sailin’ off into the blue

Repeat PRE-CHORUS/Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Spoken: Man, I can’t tell you how mad that made me
Lookin’ all like a fool at that damn party
Where I come from, you’re s’posed to dance with who brung ya’
Well, I tell you what, now, she can just kiss my [well, that’s right] [royal red ass]
