Beyonce - BEST THING I NEVER HAD - Lyrics:
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
I say what goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around...
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy I must've been out of my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I, I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
I thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out
[Chorus:]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
'Cause honestly you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
You turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
And I'm gonna' always be the (best thing you never had)
Oh yeah, I bet it sucks to be you right now
So sad, you're hurt
Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and baby yes I saw the real you
Thank God you blew it
I thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
Baby good lookin' out
[Chorus:]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
I said, you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
And I'll never be the (best thing you never had)
Oh baby I bet sucks to be you right now
I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts
That I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye
[Chorus:]
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
Oh you turned out to be (the best thing I never had)
And I will always be the (best thing you never had)
Oh, best thing you never had!
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
Oh you turned out to be the (best thing I never had)
Oh, I will never be the (best thing you never had)
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around, comes back around
What goes around, comes back around
I bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around, comes back around
I bet it sucks to be you right now
What goes around, comes back around
I bet it sucks to be you right now

    Adam you have encouraged me to want to learn to play the electric guitar. Thank you so much for being my inspiration. You are extremely talented and an awesome musician. Thank You!

    @Th3Fab3 God bless you and your son! You're very kind. I was about 12-13 when I started playing properly. You're never too young, though! I was playing, singing or listening to music since birth! Seriously - keyboards at about 3, violins, drums - the works. I can never remember a point in my life where I did not play an instrument! Just so happened that guitar came a little later. So by all means, I encourage your son to start - 6 is the perfect age! I wish you both all the best and beyond!

    Thank you so much for that, Eric! That really means so much to me - thank you! I'm truly humbled! Also, settings are straightforward! I change them according to the room I'm in. Bass 4, Mid 4, Treble 5-6 for recording, presence 12. Clean Fender Blues Deluxe amp, with a Fulltone Fulldrive pedal in front, and a Keeley compressor. That's it! Hope that helps, and all the best with your playing! Thank you for your support! :)

    Thank you so much, Eric! That really means a lot to me! God bless you for that! Also, amp settings are simple. I'm running a clean Fender Blues Deluxe, and driving lightly with a Fulltone Full Drive II. Add a Keeley compressor, and that's my tone! I prefer simpler setups. They suck less away from the guitar. Nothing beats a responsive tube amp, anyway. Also, I record at blistering volumes mostly. Speaker cabs are heavily dampened in another room. :) Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

    @AdamLeeGuitarist Just like to add, tributes are for the ones that simply cover the songs. You my friend take songs straight to their limits and hold on to that tone. You have what a lot of guitarists struggle with these days and that is putting feeling into the songs they play. Your simply a legend in the making, bravo to you sir!
