Thought I'd end up with Sean 
But he wasn't a match 
Wrote some songs about Ricky 
Now I listen and laugh 
Even almost got married 
And for Pete I'm so thankful 
Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm 
'Cause he was an angel 
One taught me love 
One taught me patience 
And one taught me pain 
Now I'm so amazing 
Say I've loved and I've lost 
But that's not what I see 
Look what I got 
Look what you taught me 
And for that I say 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next 
I'm so I'm so grateful for my ex 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next next 
I'm so I'm so grateful 
Spend more time with my friends 
I ain't worried 'bout nothin' 
Plus I met someone else 
We havin' better discussions 
I know they say I move on too fast 
But this one gon' last 
'Cause her name is Ari 
And I'm so good with that 
She taught me love 
She taught me patience 
How she handles pain 
That s**t's amazing 
I've loved and I've lost 
But that's not what I see 
Look what I've found 
No need for searching and for that I say 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next 
I'm so I'm so grateful for my ex 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next 
I'm so I'm so grateful for my 
One day I'll walk down the aisle 
Holding hands with my mama 
I'll be thanking my dad 
'Cause she grew from the drama 
Only wanna do it once real bad 
Gon' make that last 
God forbid something happens 
Least this song is a smash 
I've got so much love 
Got so much patience 
I've learned from the pain 
I turned out amazing 
I've loved and I've lost 
But that's not what I see 
Look what I've found 
No need for searching 
And for that I say 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next 
I'm so I'm so grateful for my ex 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next next 
Thank you next 
I'm so I'm so grateful for my ex
