Best Thing Songtext / Lyric

I mean Usher is this what it come to, man?

This how we gon' do it? I mean even grass grow baby

You know seeds become plants, boys become men

What we gon' do? Let's lead the way



Wrapped around all girls like Pashminas

What's my demeanor?

The grass is always greener on the other side

Then think about, can't give a ring up

I couldn't give a ***, how could I give a finger



Let alone half bath and closets

So claustrophobic, in fear of close objects

Now it's sort of like two car garages

It's like two broads menagin'

You're the best mama



Is there any chance that you remember me

Being any more than just a horrible man?

And would you consider pullin' this trigger

And taking a second shot at romance?






Oh baby I want the days when you were my girl

And I was your man

Know I took you for granted but it wasn't 'til now

I see how much I miss you



Girl, I'm sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool

But for once here goes the truth



I can't be fake, I can't be phony

Acting all hard, that's for homies, that's lonely

I tried to flex but I confess that when you left



You took the very best thing

The best thing that ever happened to me

You took my best thing, the best thing that I ever seen

You took the best thing, the best thing that I ever had

And now all I feel is stress

'Cause when you left you took the very best



Remember Mimi or Vita, remember Isha or Eva

I ain't got 'em no more, hey, as for Naomi or Jenny

Got the same outcome as Gillette

Girl, I let 'em all go



Ooh, no more trickin' and kissin' miscellaneous chicks

Acting like a jerk, woman I been to church

And I've talked to the bishop and he wanted me

To share this with ya, how much I miss you



I'm so sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool

But for once here goes the truth



I can't be fake, I can't be phony

Acting all hard, that's for homies, that's lonely

I tried to flex but I confess that when you left



You took the very best thing

The best thing that ever happened to me

You took my best thing, the best thing that I ever seen

You took the best thing, the best thing that I ever had

And now all I feel is stress

'Cause baby when you left you took the very best



Mama tried to tell me Hobie Hob just slow it down

You gon' lose your best thing if you keep gettin' 'round

Like partner need a partner, when you're old I'll hold you down

Ma, forever young, was forever none



Sorry Stacy, sorry Tanya, Millie-Ann and all of them

All of them was flirting time, it wasn't you, it was him

School me once, school me twice, three times, I was dumb

Now it's so plain to see to me, I got the one

You're the best mama



I can't be fake, I can't be phony

Acting all hard that's for homies that's lonely

I tried to flex but I confess that when you left



You took the very best thing

The best thing that ever happened to me

You took my best thing, the best thing that I ever seen

You took the best thing, the best thing that I ever had

And now all I feel is stress

'Cause baby when you left you took the very best
