How many times did I let it slide by 

when the boys got the pick of the best

I didn't know what to do 

I couldn't pick up a clue 

going home all alone in my bed

I was a high school loser never made it with a lady 

when I did I got the best

She knew it all taught me everything 

but what I learned 

best lesson was when she left

I learned



Heartbreak's a blessing

but you don't know it then

It likes to mess your mind up

Heartbreak's your best friend



I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head

I got a wall going 'round my heart 

I see my friend's go through trouble and when trouble's around 

it always leads to a girl in the end

I didn't know it'd be this hard to find

Never knew it'd take this long

but if I'm gonna have to wait I'm gonna wait

I'll probably die an old man alone



Heartbreak's a blessing

but you don't know it then

It likes to mess your mind up

Heartbreak's your best friend



When I see a pretty lady walking down the street

My eyes get overtaken 

my knees get weak

I can talk the talk 

but I'm easily tempted

Resisting a good looking 

woman 

ain't so easy in the end



I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head

I got a wall going 'round my heart 

I see my friend's go through trouble and when trouble's around 

it always leads to a girl in the end

I didn't know it'd be this hard to find

Never knew it'd take this long

but if I'm gonna have to wait I'm gonna wait

I'll probably die an old man alone



Heartbreak's a blessing

but you don't know it then

It likes to mess your mind up

Heartbreak's your best friend
