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...   I like that      Heartbreak's a blessing   But you don't know it then   It likes to mess your mind up   Heartbreak's your best friend
