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

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

(PRE-CHORUS):
But don't think you're safe,
don't think it's over,
'til he's made an 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

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

(PRE-CHORUS):
'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 REPEAT):
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

(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 being dead
But this time, honey,
you're the one
who calls the shots instead,
yeah

(CHORUS REPEAT):
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
Redeemed
