Lyrics

The Ex-Boyfriend Song
INTRO:
Sisters, unite, be cautious
If any of this seems familiar
It?s about more than a love gone wrong
He?s starving for affection,
not prepared for rejection
This is The Ex-boyfriend Song
VERSE 1:
He wandered the road between decency and deceit
quite easily, armed with excuses
He woke up one day without you to mistreat
Then he was back in that long line of losers
But don?t think you?re safe, don?t think it?s over
?til he?s made and attempt to reconcile
Change all your locks, get a new number
?Cause he has not taken you off the speed-dial
CHORUS:
Explanations, expectations
Experiences quite extreme
Excitement enough for the rest of your life
Ex-boyfriends with tired, old schemes
Hopin? to be, hopin? to be redeemed
VERSE 2:
He will show up on your doorstep one night
with some wine and his toothbrush well hidden
Don?t listen to a word that comes out of his mouth
Sentimentality is forbidden
?Cause he had his shot at becoming your all
And only became a disappointment
Now he comes crawlin?, beggin? and bawlin?
Useful as a fly in the ointment
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
He always left the lid up
The dishes by the bed
Stretched the truth too far
Got inside your head
Seemed to think commitment
was worse than bein? dead
But this time, honey, you?re the one
who calls the shots instead
