[Chorus]
I'm thankful for what I’ve got
Don't pay no mind to what I almost had
I'm thankful for what I’ve got
She's got herself a real life better

[Verse 1]
I ain't got no troubles, baby

I got the one I wanted, got the one I need
And I couldn't be more happy now -- I really, really mean it

I'm thankful for what I've got
I've got myself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better
I've got myself a real life better
She's got herself a real life better
