[Intro: thank u, next]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Stay]

Round and around and around and around we go (around we go)

Oh now‚ tell me now‚ tell me now, tell me now, you know

[Chorus: Since U Been Gone, thank u, next, Somebody That I Used To Know]

Since you been gone

Thank you‚ next (next)

Thank you, next

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I'm so moving on (yeah, yeah)

Thank you‚ next

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Verse 1: Since U Been Gone, thank u, next]

Here's the thing

We started out friends

It was cool, but it was all pretend

Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)

Since you been gone

(I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex)

One taught me love

One taught me patience

One taught me pain

Now, I'm so amazing

[Pre-Chorus: Stay]

Yeah, around and around and around and around we go (around we go)

Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

[Chorus: Since U Been Gone, thank u, next, Somebody That I Used To Know]

Since you've been gone

[Breakdown: We Are Never Getting Back Together, Since U Been Gone, thank u, next]

We are never ever, ever getting back together

We are never ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever, ever

Ever getting back together (Since you been gone)

We are never ever, ever getting back together

We are never ever, ever getting back together (Since you been gone, yeah, yeah)

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never ever, ever

(I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex)
