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 go1

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 ghosts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's1

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

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 ghosts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go1

My ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like ghosts 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 ghosts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go

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