Verse 1
Thought Id end up with Sean
But he wasnt a match
Wrote some songs about Ricky
Now I listen and laugh
Even almost got married
And for Pete, Im so thankful
Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm
Cause he was an angel

Pre-Chorus
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, Im so amazing
Say Ive loved and Ive lost
But thats not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say

Chorus
Thank you, next (Next)
Thank you, next (Next)

Thank you, next (Next)
