Lyrics: Brandy. Afrodisiac. Who I Am.

CHORUS:
Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
'Cause this experience made me
Who I am

VERSE 1:
I tried to make me love ya
I tried to make me stay
But everytime I tried
Myself and I got in the way
Just for the sake of my daughter
I tried to stick to the plan
But I had to get rid of the weight
On my fourth finger, left hand
To everybody listenin'
Sorry if you're disappointed
You see, the life I chose was only
What I thought I wanted
Nothing's picture perfect
Looks can be deceiving
What I thought was love
Was something I could not believe in

CHORUS:
Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
'Cause this experience made me
Who I am

VERSE 2:
Always had that feeling
That babyboy was cheating
I kept telling myself
"If you ain't happy Bran, just leave him"
I wasn't raised to quit
'Cause quitters never win
What do you gain if you feel incomplete within?
I'm sick of all the questions
All the "whats" and "whys"
Like "What happened?"
"Why'd y'all break up?" "Why we never see you cry?"
But do you know how it feels to hurt behind closed doors?
And when you go outside, you're wonderin' what you're smilin' for

CHORUS:
Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
'Cause this experience made me
Who I am

BRIDGE:
Now that it's over I can live
Now all you had belongs to him
My heart is open like a book
And everything he eats, I cook
What I'm to him, he is to me
We are each other's everything
But if I would've stayed with you
I wouldn't have it like I do

CHORUS:
Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
'Cause this experience made me
Who I am
Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
'Cause this experience made me
Who I am
