Best Thing I Never Had Lyrics
I just heard this song recently and I love it. It's so simple but so true. To me, it's about that guy that you thought you were in love with but through his actions you knew you could never love someone with his character. You were really upset at first and you wanted him to prove to be the guy you thought you were falling in love with but he never does. You then meet another guy who is so amazing and shows you what it is to really love someone. He just makes you smile and you can't stop. You realize that if the first guy had never messed up you would probably still be with him and would have missed out. In that sense you got lucky because "you dodged the bullet". You are actually glad that the original guy turned out the way he did. You were a beautiful and wonderful girl that would have done anything for him but he never got all of you because he messed up pretty big over and over "you turned out to be the best thing I never had. And I will always be the best thing you never had." He will always have to live with the fact that he lost you and in that essence it " bet it sucks to be you right now."
I agree with your interpretation but with the roles reverse. my ex broke up with me via text and i was depressed. Just listened to this on spotify made me realize that there is some better girl out there for me and my ex missed out something awesome. Got to believe that there is someone at there for me.

My life's theme song.
I agree musicconnoisseur. Isn't it funny how blind we are when we feel we are in love with someone. But for those of us who are lucky, we wake up, the rosy colored glasses come off, and we dodge a bullet. Then someone comes along who makes the other look like the complete douche he is. Bravo Beyonce!
I can\'t believe she really says "you showed your ass"... I thought Beyonce was supposed to be dignified...
Does this song sound musically like "I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys to anyone else? or is it just me
umm i dont really think so "i want it that way" is more like expressing wistfully how he wants the girl back,with whom things might have gone wrong but "best i never had" is a woman telling her ex she s happy with her life now and thank her ex who didnt treat her right . she had loved him once but the man was a jerk,kinda like stringing her along for sometime and then broke up.now the woman has found her real love who is the right one for her and deserves her,who is a wonderful woman...

What goes around,comes back around...sooner or later :)
This song is about the nature of love. "what goes around comes back around" - it means that if you give love, doesn't matter how someone is responding to it, you will always get it back in some way, because this is the nature of love. In opposite, if someone has an other aim in the relationship, if the person is not there for experiencing love, than he/she will got back something else, but love is the best thing to experience. Not to have but to experience????
It's an OK song. Her best by far is Ave Maria, although most people (I believe) have never heard Beyonce's version. This song is funny. There's too much protesting. If she really didn't care, she'd be apathetic, not wasting so much time stating that he's the best thing she never had. Poor girl, she's smitten and just won't admit it :D
All those boogers have is physical beauty. That's it. Settle. Settle. Settle. Tisk. Tisk. Tisk.

I feel like rather than being smitten and not admitting it, she's trying to force herself to believe that she doesn't care so that she can move on easier.
