Well, I knew me a boy, and yes he was a friend

I told him 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 calling my name

'Cause I found me a better friend in the UK

Hey, hey, until I made my getaway



One, two, three, they gonna run back to me

'Cause I'm the best friend that they never gotta keep

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me

They always wanna hang, 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's



I had another friend down in New Orleans

It was warm in the winter, but them frozen in the spring

Bye, bye how the seasons go by



I get by, and I love to lay low

So the hearts keep breaking, and the wheels just roll

You know that's how the story goes



One, two, three, they gonna run back to me

'Cause I'm the best friend that they never gotta keep

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me

They always wanna hang, 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



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 gonna run back to me

Climbing over mountains and a-sailing over seas

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me

They always wanna hang, 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
