Hmm, whoa, yeah, oh baby, hmm, oh
I read you wrong, you said you'd only be away a while
But the days turned into weeks and all the weeks into miles
Baby why ?
You could've told me you were telling me goodbye
Could've come clean and let me walk away in style, oh
Funny thing is, while I was missing you
While I was figuring what I was gonna do
I got wise, I got hip, I caught on to your tricks
I got over it real quick, yeah baby, while you were gone
Now I'm cool, can't you tell, feel so good about myself
A funny thing happened to me baby, while you were gone
Oh, you looked surprised, like no one ever left you and survived, no
Well leaving me alone has kind of opened my eyes
Baby you, you gave me the time to find somebody new
And I found strength inside me I never knew, oh
Funny thing is, while he was holding me
While he was showing me how it's suppose to be
I got wise, I got hip, I caught on to your tricks
I got over it real quick, yeah baby, while you were gone
Now I'm cool, can't you tell, feel so good about myself
A funny thing happened to me baby, while you were gone
I got wise, I got hip, I caught on to your tricks
I got over it real quick, yeah baby, while you were gone
Now I'm cool, can't you tell, feel so good about myself
A funny thing happened to me baby, while you were gone
Didn't freak, didn't cry, I just held my head up high
I learned how to say goodbye while you were gone
Had time on my hands, baby don't you understand
A funny thing happened to me baby, while you were gone
Had nothing but time on my hands, learned how to understand boy
Got over you, got over you, oh, while he was holding me
While he was showing me how it's suppose to be, oh baby
I got wise, I got hip, I caught on to your tricks
I got over it real quick, yeah baby, while you were gone
Now I'm cool, can't you tell, feel so good about myself
A funny thing happened to me baby, while you were gone
While you were gone, oh, learned to lie, learned a lesson
Learned how to get along, learned how to be strong
Learned how to love myself, while you were gone, ooh, oh.
