Well, I had me a girl, turned her to a woman
I showed her all the things that she didn’t understand
Whoa, and then I let her go

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

     One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
     ‘Cause I’m the best guy that they never gotta keep
     One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
     They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

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

I had a summer lover down in New Orleans
Kept her warm in the winter, left her 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 gonna run back to me
     ‘Cause I’m the best guy that they never gotta keep
     One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
     They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

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

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

     One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
     ‘Cause I’m the best guy that they never gotta keep
     One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
     They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

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

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