Keeps Gettin' Better (A Decade of Hits)

After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end I wanna thank you
'Cause you made me that much stronger

Well...I thought I know you
Thinkin' that you were true
Guess I...I couldn't trust
Called your bluff...time is up...'cause I've had enough

You were there by my side
Always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame...mmm

After all of the stealin' and cheatin'
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But...oooh...oooh...no...you're wrong

'Cause if it wasn't for all you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for makin' me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for makin' me a fighter

Ooh...ooh...ooh...whoa...ooh...ooh...yeah...yeah...ooh...

Never saw it comin'
All of your backstabbin'
Just so you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game

I heard you're goin' around
Playin' the victim now
But don't even begin
Feelin' I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave...ooh

After all the fights and the lies 'cause you're wanted to haunt me
But that won't work anymore
Oh...no more...oh no...it's over

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for makin' me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for makin' me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust...so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth

You tried to hide your lies...disguise yourself
Through livin' in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turnin' back
I've had enough

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for makin' me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much stronger
So thanks for makin' me a fighter

Thought I would forget
But I...I remember
I'll remember...I'll remember...

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit faster
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for makin' me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much stronger
So thanks for makin' me a fighter
