I thought our love was carved in stone

till I woke up and found you gone

you left me alone 

dreaming my broken dreams

I swore I’d never love again

but as of now that movie’s changed

since somebody new 

wrote me some different scenes

 

and I should thank you

for lettin me down for messin me round 

I should thank you

it’s all worked out so good

the girl I ran to 

she really fixed my heart

I swear I ought to show you some gratitude

 

she’s kind to me where you were mean

and all the places in between

she smiles like the sun 

laughs like the southern wind

her kisses are so fresh and new

I think back to the taste of you

but honest to God 

I just can’t recall a thing

 

and I should thank you

for telling me lies for making me cry 

I should thank you

I wish I’d understood

the girl I ran to 

she built me a brand new heart

I really want to show you some gratitude

so thank you baby it all worked out so good
