Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand
Whoa, and then I let him go

Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name
'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK
Hey, hey, until I made my getaway

One, two, three, they [bad word] back to me
'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they [bad word] back to me
They always [bad word]  but they never wanna leave

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

I had a summer lover down in New Orleans
Kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring
My, my, how the seasons go by

Well, I get high, and I love to get low
So the hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll
You know that's how the story goes

One, two, three, they [bad word] back to me
'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they [bad word] back to me
They always [bad word]  but they never wanna leave

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

One, two, three, they [bad word] back to me
Climbing over mountains and a-sailing over seas
One, two, three, they [bad word] back to me
They always [bad word]  but they never wanna leave

My ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's
